This article raises two questions in my mind. First, why does the Military Times consider this bit of identity politics newsworthy? Second, doesn't the military just reflect the nature of the society from which it is drawn? Men have about 17 times as much testosterone as women (gross average) and are about 13 times as violent as women and end up in prison about 13 times as often as women. People of all colors who grow up in high crime areas on average commit mores crimes. Turns out the military reflects that too. What the article fails to mention is, after the study "discovers" what I've just said, what will they DO about it?

Military Times is just another extension of the MSM, along with the other branch affiliates. I’m not sure what is being conveyed in this article. Should we boost the number of non-white trials or reduce the black and Hispanic? Need more of that good old social justice in the military.

I agree with your comments. My suggestion is that we work harder to inculcate military values in ALL our service members. We seem to have forgotten how to do this.

Yes, we are all in this together as a military. We can't practice identity politics, or allow special categories of people, or we are not a military unit.
