Liz,

Hold onto your socks......

For a change I agree with you. In the army, racism is not allowed to rear its ugly head, and when it does, it is eliminated as soon as possible. If you are a member of an extremist group and it comes up in a background check you are liable to be discharged immediately unless your commander thinks there's a damned good reason to keep you around.

Last time I checked, it's less than one percent of the genome that separates us. There's only one race, the human race, and we're all the same damned color on the inside.
