What has Happened to the Army I used to Know and Love?

This goes way beyond ignorance, this is just plain stupid! It wouldn't surprise me if it were someone on duty, maybe even extra duty!

Do we need a new EO program - NOPE, investigate and catch them and then prosecute their asses to the maximum extent allowable under the law! Time to use this example to make someone an example!

Not only is it racist and immature, it's disrespectful to the Soldier the clinic was named in honor of...Lloyd C. Hawks

The Congressional Medal of Honor

For gallantry and intrepidity at risk of life above and beyond the call of duty. On January 30, 1944, at 3 p.m., near Carano, Italy, Pfc. Hawks braved an enemy counterattack in order to rescue 2 wounded men who, unable to move, were lying in an exposed position within 30 yards of the enemy. Two riflemen, attempting the rescue, had been forced to return to their fighting holes by extremely severe enemy machinegun fire, after crawling only 10 yards toward the casualties. An aid man, whom the enemy could plainly identify as such, had been critically wounded in a similar attempt. Pfc. Hawks, nevertheless, crawled 50 yards through a veritable hail of machinegun bullets and flying mortar fragments to a small ditch, administered first aid to his fellow aid man who had sought cover therein, and continued toward the 2 wounded men 50 yards distant. An enemy machinegun bullet penetrated his helmet, knocking it from his head, momentarily stunning him. Thirteen bullets passed through his helmet as it lay on the ground within 6 inches of his body. Pfc. Hawks, crawled to the casualties, administered first aid to the more seriously wounded man and dragged him to a covered position 25 yards distant. Despite continuous automatic fire from positions only 30 yards away and shells which exploded within 25 yards, Pfc. Hawks returned to the second man and administered first aid to him. As he raised himself to obtain bandages from his medical kit his right hip was shattered by a burst of machinegun fire and a second burst splintered his left forearm. Displaying dogged determination and extreme self-control, Pfc. Hawks, despite severe pain and his dangling left arm, completed the task of bandaging the remaining casualty and with superhuman effort dragged him to the same depression to which he had brought the first man. Finding insufficient cover for 3 men at this point, Pfc. Hawks crawled 75 yards in an effort to regain his company, reaching the ditch in which his fellow aid man was lying.

Sad at epic levels all around. I remember in 1990, they damn near had a race riot with rebel flags and "X"'s being starched and ironed into BDU's. Then it was African flag colors, all black rooms, all white rooms, Muslim conversions during the Gulf War and gang brandings and tattoos. One of the biggest fears was being jumped when walking out at night on some of the kassernes. Very sad. We had the 3rd ID EO (a CSM) tell people that there is no month dedicated to whites because "every day is cracker day." This is not a problem with the Army. The military is just about the most equal opportunity large organization alive. This is failure at the leadership level. Sometimes I feel like the pendulum has swung too far. We now feel intimidated to make corrections because there is a guilty until proven innocent atmosphere. Wrong is wrong and needs to be addressed regardless of what is politically correct. I remember leaders decades ago saying what a nightmare it was to deal with a congressional investigation. Now, people just call the news and before leadership is aware of the severity of some issues, they hve microphones and cameras in their faces.
