BWP,

Don't get your panties in a bunch. The amount of people sent out and when in the military is a direct relation to the location. Fact of the matter is, you stand a white guy and a whatever guy/gal (anything but white, except for the gal) and guess who is going. I know plenty of people that have gone to the military, name the branch, and said I want to go and have been shipped as fast as the recruiter can route paper work. But I also have seen with my own two eyes, a person with a Bachelors degree, walk into a recruiters office. Tell them they want to enlist, and get turned down, because some retard with an ASVAB (that is the entry test to determine what you can do in the military) score so low it wouldn't fly if you folded the paper it was printed on into an airplane, walk in within a day of said individual and get shipped out the next week because they were a minority or a woman. That is where the system is flawed. And if you can't see that then you are either blind or refusing to see what is right in front of you. I am not picking a bone with you BWP, but I think you just like to argue sometimes. It is OK though. I have a little brother like that, so I know how to handle folks like that.


And dear god please don't misconstrue this as a race issue. Think of it more as a debate.
