What difference does it make if he is a particular color?

What should always matter is qualifications.
If he is the most qualified for that position then they chose the right man.

If they chose him BECAUSE of his race, then you and everyone is fucked royally as decision making based on that will eventually result in an incompetent military.

Democraps are so busy fucking blacks that they have to remind them periodically that they aren't racists. It's all bull shit of course. Democrats are the most racist Americans in the country.
So they give them token jobs and token positions....and usually they're not qualified. The White House press sec is a prime example.

Marines might have been around for 246 years but a 4 Star General rank has only been around since 1945. General Vandegrift.
