I think he basically said that affirmative action exists in universities and it works.

Oh, cool. I can't follow his two and three sentence posts, I'm sure as eff not going to try to translate a two inch block of text from that weirdo.

Imagine being the author of multiple paragraph nonsensical screeds on this blog and then admitting to that.

Sad

Poster who will take the time to quadruple check a any news story that makes one of his #blueanon heroes look bad (which is many) can't read a 2 paragraph post  :thumbsup:

Interesting article.  Currently 71% of the U.S. population between the ages of 17 to 24 would be rejected outright by the U.S. Army.   Yet Southern states have the highest number of total recruits that are accepted by the Army?   

Also interesting that they talk about the "easy pickings" of recruits from the South because of poverty levels, yet the CFR says that 81% of our total military members are from lower middle to slightly upper middle class neighborhoods?  I suppose that 19% could all be in the Army and from the South, but that's highly doubtful.   

Fascinating.

71% of 17 to 24's in the United States would be rejected by the Army . . . the most recruits allowed to enter the Army are from the South.  Those land whales down there . . . #slowdug

My favorite episodes are the ones where Dax attempts to have it both ways. Esp. enjoyable when he doesn’t realize he’s trying to have it both ways until the 15th paragraph or so

Thanks for affirming what I already said lick.

And I know you have joined in with pre Rage Friday with #blueanon.  But the article you posted said that the most Army recruits come from the South.

Based on total population of each state. Pretty pretty slim pickins for our US military in the quadrangle.

Sad

I know you can’t ever follow along. But #blueanon rage Friday has started early.

Also sad that my home state of Kansas just can’t offer much of anything to our armed forces these days. :(

It must blow every level of ass to be an armed forces recruiter in suburban KC or Wichita :(

Imagine quota and funnel report day for armed forces recruiters in Des Moines or Lincoln.

Damn, T's and P's.   :frown:
