    Please, please can you directly acknowldge the problem in your original assertion that more of the current military staff in Africa should be black because they are black. This isn’t about making all systems more fair. This is about whether or not it is appropriate to concentrate black personnel in Africa. I assert it is not appropriate, nor would it be appropriate to send other personnel into other theaters based on their racial geographic origin. That has huge “go back where you came from” energy.

      the problem in your original assertion

      That sending an all-white team of neck-snappers into an African nation to coordinate with white owned-foreign businesses in pursuit of resource extraction is normal and cool? And how dare anyone suggest otherwise?

      That has huge “go back where you came from” energy.

      What do you think the job of a high ranking military officer is, exactly?

        You tell me. What is the job of a high ranking military officer?

        Edit: I’m tired of this. You are way out of line, and you won’t directly address your own statements without redirection. I’m out.

          It’s a shame, because they’re a prolific poster whom I often agree with, but they also regularly have bad takes that are clearly outside their area of expertise, and invariably double down on them when challenged, or try to pivot to a slightly different point without ever acknowledging their errors. I can’t respect people who never admit to being wrong.
