Absolutely. Not a peep though about the enormous failure of the services to enlist soldiers and sailors reflecting our populace …IF THAT IS THE REAL OBJECTIVE.

But of course, as anyone still upright knows, such is NOT the real objective.

And so it is that elite, groups are intentionally pursued. Sorta flies in the face of the need for “unit cohesiveness” it seems. And it all violates and distorts MLK’s essential message of equal opportunity, regardless of color. Isn’t this why the American Revolution was fought to set us free from the notion of class and birthright determining what or what not we might do?

But in the end, Louie’s rhetorical point is pointless for none have shown how a more colorful cadre of Mids and ensigns will make the USN better able to accomplish its mission. And the reason for that is that there is no defense or explanation. It’s simply votes.
