The vast majority of the Pentagon’s Special Forces units, like the Navy SEALs, are commanded and manned by white officers and troops. Joining in the with the leftist cry for ‘diversity’, many military officials at the highest levels are stressing the need for change to match other branches of the armed forces.
For example, blacks comprised 17 percent of the Army in 2013 – a higher figure than their representation of the overall population.

You should thank your lucky stars.
So let’s put black males in there. All they have to do is volunteer. They can be put in front of the line.
Wow…what racist idiot is meeping track
As I understand it….the troops either apply for the co$#%&!@* and they must be qualified..no matter what their race or color….if the people that complete the co$#%&!@* and tests are given the $#%&!@*ignment..so what does it matter what color they are? Just who in the 5 sided building has made this announcement, does it come from on high?? Was it the old man of the cave on the top of the mountain? I would also add during my time as a military wife, I saw many special forces troops and they were not all white as the saying goes…
Let’s not be vulgar. Any Race Can Qualify It Is A choice.
I served with MANY, MANY fine black soldiers that trained hard and got Qualified on their own merit,and NOT ONE ever took a cent of welfare,had one wife and knew the names of all their kids…so STFU when you talk about something you know zilch about
Well if the other races could make the cut…
Most blacks couldn’t cut it
The reason for this is simple. The Blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, Asians, etc. can p$#%&!@* the training required for the Army Rangers, Green Beret, Delta Force Commandos, or Navy Seals. The military has two options here. They can either lower their standards so some of these minority individuals can make the grade. Or they can do a better job with basic training so these minorities are ready when it comes time to qualify for these Special Forces Units. While some might think that lowering the standards is the way to go, if I were a member of one of these groups, I would be very uncommfortable having these lesser qualified individuals watching my back.
This is stupid. Special Forces, like the Navy SEALs are 100% voluntary. Anyone can sign in all they have to do is gut it out and plan on working and training for the best part of your adult life. If there are too many White Males maybe that’s because we volunteer and stick out more than our non-white brothers. When I was in basic training, one of our training NCO’s was a black Ranger so this is hokum. Next it will be not enough women. And I say, if you can play and stay then you belong. If not, go home.
