| Skins, your statement has zero to do with sdbest's point in this thread.
It might also be observed that the US military has been a model of "equal opportunity" between black and white for the past 60 years now, while much of the rest of society just can't seem to get past the colour barrier. Groovy.
But the military-industrial complex that Ike warned about (half a century ago for cryin' out loud) has flourished all along.
This must have a great deal to do with the US remaining a Third World society in some respects.
