Brown: ‘Shame on Us’ if Military Diversity Efforts Falter - Air Force Magazine

I only had one incident of guys not playing nicely sharing a room, mostly verbally, but the dark green Marine was being tag-teamed. No quality of life. Ended after discussion with SNCOs present and players (at attention). Got the facts first always, but one was a skinhead wannabe, with followers. Told them nobody was moving, and they needed to adapt quickly. Required the problem child to apologize and shake hands after admitting to his words. He was at least honest, and deployed with me later, made Cpl. Problem solved.

CWO3 (Join to see) - I had zero tolerance for racism. I probably was more passionate than most commanders because I know how it feels to be recipient of racism. Fortunately I never had to deal with it. That is a line that none of my soldiers should or did cross. Like I said I did not have to deal with it, but I would have made life miserable for persons who crossed the line and would do my hardest to kick them out of the military. The forest does not need a tree with cancer.

You may think that but racism has long existed in the military. Let's not forget segregated units...and even after integration it's still been there. There are too many who don't believe "all bleed red."
