Awesome effort and awesome recognition for an exceptional career NCO - but again - it just shows that we the people are rushing forward to make sure everyone is 'type-classified' for diversity sake.

I reckon the need to have type-classified awards is "proof" that we are a systemically racist society or else we wouldn't need to award separate recognition based on genders and colors and nationalities
...we would just recognize people for being "the best" - but it seems we the people still aren't mature enough to transcend things like color race gender orientation religion or galactic origin and default to purely merit based recognition. The system is inherently racist - the t1me MAGAzine mAn 0f tHe yEar said so
even though 50% of the man of the year is a woman
of color


It's probably why the NFL needed TWO national anthems this year.
...the regular one was racist
