Levine is in charge of the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service, over 6000 officers embedded in Federal agencies and the military around the world. They're stationed where it's hard to recruit regular medical professionals, or surge to places they're needed. So all Levine has to do is make sure they're ready and smooth over any friction between agencies. I believe operational decisions would be limited to deciding priorities in the event of too many requests, and most of that has probably already been decided. If there's a war and the US needs doctors somewhere, they're not going to leave that decision up to the Surgeon General.

Has a troon ever gotten groups to work together smoothly? Once in history?
And against them doesn't count.

Brings to mind an honest question for our black kiwi population.

I keep seeing Dems hem and haw about how America is a racist country etc. Then I see guys like Herschel who will remind them no, we've actually made a lot of progress.

Which to my mind is true. Coming of age when I did, from what I saw, the 90s and early 00s were actually very good in terms of race relations, at least following the LA riots. There were some notable cases like that but for the most part I remember black and white people getting along.

Am I wrong and you guys just had a totally different perspective or are the Dems actively deteriorating what could have been considered a milestone of improved relations?

No, you're absolutely right and I remember the decline in race relations lining up more or less with Obama's election, especially his second term. The decline is obvious when you compare the media of the day to now, especially comedy (go watch some MadTV sketches from back then, there's no way some of them could get made today). Critical race theorists were a lunatic fringe back then but for some reason they started gaining real traction in mainstream culture during Obama's term. How and why this happened is something I haven't looked deeply into but I'm sure others here can offer explanations.

The US and JP could probably recruit a few fresh battalions of able-bodied military age males for each Holo (brigades for Gura) just off of the promise that their oshii would be the the official mascot. Would probably have better unit cohesion than average, and better mission focus if the operation is framed as "Save Yogiri from Artia." Just... keep an eye on the Nousagis, and don't let them near any prisoners or civilian populations in case they get "inspired."

the occupy wallstreet "movement"

when the narrative shifted from class struggle to racial issues.

I read a nice article about how the boston pride parade disbanded because the black troons kept making demands and demeaning the gays as being rich white gays and bad allies. So the rich white gays who know nothing of discriminations took their toys and went home.

Occupy Wall Street started and had potential... The only way to stop it was via Ketchup.

If you'd have told me 30-40 years ago that if WW3 ever started, the US would probably sit it out because its military was completely gutted, it was damn near out of ammo, it had critical retention and recruiting levels, and it was a trash fire with leadership that consisted of a fat REMF traitor (Milley), a dick sucker, a senile pedophile, and an alcoholic wine sucking geriatric bitch, I'd have called you crazy.

You realize its still the same military that thought they could turn literal retards into useful people by showing them VHS tapes right? Good god Johnny, you were a bright eyed optimist once weren't you?

Part of the blame is the fact that everyone (arrogantly) said that the CRT shit was just self-masturbatory nonsense that didn't have any place outside of fart-huffing college lounges, and that when the people learning it got out into the real world it wouldn't matter. Well, that's true - it is self-masturbatory nonsense, and in the real world it shouldn't matter. But the people that learned it embraced it, and brought it's toxicity to normie space with them. All those CRT-swallowing twats are in the corporate world now, and we've already seen the results.

They're absolutely deteriorating race relations. Not to powerlevel, but I'm probably one of the younger members of the site. When I grew up in the 2000s, I was completely colorblind, and so were pretty much all of my classmates. I did not notice that my best friends in kindergarten were two Hispanic kids. I talked about how to do hair with the black girl in my class and swapped stylings tips and race never even crossed our minds, damn the fact that neither of our routines would work for the other lmfao. One of the girls in my class was adopted from China, and when she told us about it one day during show and tell we all thought it was super cool! But she wasn't different or the Chinese kid or anything like that. She was just Allie, the girl who was really good at drawing and loved reading and was very soft-spoken. We just saw each other as people and friends and nobody fucking cared what race anyone else was. Keep in mind that this was in the rural-rural Midwest. That's how far we'd come.

But after Trayvon Martin and especially after Michael Brown, that changed. I know that I, now a tween, started actually really noticing people's races, and everyone else around me started to, too. We didn't become like, KKK members or Black Panthers or La Raza or anything like that, we all still liked each other and hung out and didn't give a shit about race because it takes more than coastal propaganda to divide our community, but we started noticing it. Us kids who had grown up colorblind were now seeing stuff in Technicolor, and you can't reverse that no matter how hard you try.

These fuckers had what they claim to be dreaming of- an entire generation of kids who did not give one single fuck about race, who treated each other equally, who did not notice nor care that the person they were playing with was black or white or Hispanic or Asian, as long they were fun to be around and were good people. And they threw that into the garbage and lit it on fire. They're to blame for their own Hell- though I'd say this is what they've wanted all along.

So which Eric is he talking about? I am guessing Schmitt as he is up in the polls and Trump does like playing that game.

What do you mean? He clearly and explicitly endorsed ERIC.

(½ Greitens because he called out Schmitt yesterday for shenanigans, ½ Schmitt because he's leading.)

The idea wasn't to have the world be color blind. Once the world is color blind the game is up because then the fight becomes about class differences and the elites know it’s better [for them] to pit John against Shaniqua instead of them joining forces against them

Who cares? I call Trump a faggot half the time and criticize/mock his stupidity towards kikes, but damnit if I wouldn't rather be hosted by Trump with all you can eat McDonald's than any other lizardman in DC at an uptown estate.
