Related: About this forumAmerica's Dumbest Senator Strikes Again - The Majority Report w/ Sam Seder
Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville told Bloomberg News yesterday that he didn't support the nomination of CQ Brown to be the next Joints Chief Of Staff because of some his views on race. I heard some things he talked about, about race and things that he wanted to mix into the military, Tuberville told Bloomberg TV. Our military is not an equal opportunity employer." - 09/28/2023.

The diversity of people in The Army for me was a joy. Every race had my back.

Has he ever heard of the Tuskegee Airmen?
Or does he choose to ignore them and their record?
In all, 992 pilots were trained in Tuskegee from 1941 to 1946. 355 were deployed overseas, and 84 lost their lives. The toll included 68 pilots killed in action or accidents, 12 killed in training and non-combat missions and 32 captured as prisoners of war.
Altogether, 992 pilots graduated from the Tuskegee Air Field courses, and they flew 1,578 missions and 15,533 sorties, destroyed 261 enemy aircraft, and won more than 850 medals.
