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.

P$#%&!@* the training requirements! It’s that simple.
And just what is the problem with white males? They usually finish school, graduate from college, get masters degrees. Other males don’t even finish High School and sure don’t go to college. Be glad someone cares and defends our country.
BTW, who in the pentagon made such a stupid statement! Does anyone really know ? From what I read here, in order to achieve the goal of more participation by blacks, I see lowering of qualifications coming at a time when we need better and more stringent qualification levels. As technology advances, correct me if I am wrong, we will need higher quality troops for units like Special Forces, not less qualified. If blacks can meet the standards needed, by all means please stand up and join. We need you. What part of “Special” do the idiots behind this not understand? “Special” used to mean extremely qualified.
Barry Soetoro keeps thinking of ways to lose wars and encourage the enemy to attack us.
If they’re not qualified, then they don’t deserve to be in there
balderdash and poppy$#%&!@*
If you can get through the training, you’re qualified. Race or ethnicity are not automatic disqualifiers. For example, Jimi Hendrix was a paratrooper
I honestly don’t get it
DUH! It’s voluntary. Google that.
Same here.
