I can't really decide if you're that clueless or intentionally twisting what I said.
But here, I'll explain it using small words.
If a white male and a female or minority are up for the same promotion, the white male won't get it.
You're trying to twist it into some bizarre absolute of "only women and minorities are ever promoted".
Your very statement suggests that most whites and most men (and by virtue, white men especially) should be basically piled up in the lower ranks. We should be seeing a significant number of qualified white men sitting in ranks like E-4 and E-5 for most of their re-enlistment. Considering how many of them there are, especially men, and considering that the military demobilized from Iraq & Afghanistan, there should be a fucking enormous backlog of whites and men sitting around for 3-4 years, even after re-enlistment, who are overqualified for ranks like E-6 while women & minorities get fast-tracked from E-4 to E-6 in only a couple years.
That should be the case if your statement is true, and I haven't seen or heard that at all.
Were you in the military?
I already know you weren't. So keep writing your essays and pretending you know what you're talking about.
I was. You, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about. 30 years "in and around" the Navy... posting on a niche politics/free-speech/gaming forum.
