I see the racist Left is amazed, yet again, that a Black person can function, in any sense.

It takes a black female to get the MSM to have a positive story on our armed forces? Sad and pathetic. If it wasn’t Black History Month they wouldn’t have done that story, just shows their duplicity when it comes to such things.

At least they highlighted a person you can admire and not some namby pamby leftist that joined for the college money.

MSM seems to be running military and security stories of all types to gin up impression Obama is pro-military, pro-security.

Obama is proof there is no lack of opportunity in the USA. Racists are all on the left. If you ran a story like that with a white guy controlling all black soldiers Sharpton, et. al., would be saying the military is hateful and racist.

I congratulate her on her accomplishments, and hope the best for her in her future endeavors, but…

If women can’t fight on the front lines, how can she teach other soldiers-in-training how to fight on the front lines, since she has not experienced battle field conditions? Especially if she’s teaching future drill sargents that will turn around and pass on her teachings to the raw recruits…

Maybe the answer lies in my guess that she wouldn’t hesitate to pull a trigger and blow a bad guy away/

Cyn, Drill Sergeants don’t all train combat troops, it is pretty much a leadership course they are taking.

Wanda   February 2nd, 2010 - 12:43 pm

I think its great dont matter if she cant fight on the front lines nice to see this story .

I'm Gumby damn it!   February 2nd, 2010 - 1:04 pm

Thanks to the scourge of Affirmative Racism, how is one to believe she isn’t just another “Diversity” promotion?

Where is her combat record?
Can she even throw a grenade?

Your mouth..go put some vomit in it, that line of diversity hiring is tired and old. That KKK imbred thinking like yours, blacks can’t or could never be qualify to do anything, i sense it of you and others of having a case of inferiority complex.

many would say you and other people of your kind… get your jobs because of the old boys network, More or less you get… or hire your OWN regardless of qualification.

The Sergeant Major is just doing her job, MSM, she’s just doing her job.

The lib MSM is amazed, but it’s what we conservatives expect of people. We expect that the best people will rise to the top without the help of the government. No matter if they are black, white, red or green.

Thank you for your service, ma’am.

This is an OLD news story. Why run it AGAIN???

the-world-is-just-more-than-you   February 2nd, 2010 - 3:23 pm

And of course I know for a fact that blacks have really big meat bats. I am munching on one now.

The worlds largest on record is held by a living white guy, Jonah Falcon.

Ahh, minority self esteem boosting month. I thought I could get a wiff of ammonia in the air. Well, it is only another 27 days of trotting out fiction as truth.

James K   February 2nd, 2010 - 6:15 pm

There shouldn’t be women in this kind of position. America is reverting to barbarism, allowing it’s women to do this sort of thing.

Rob   February 2nd, 2010 - 7:58 pm

@James K, lol wut?

Since there was no mention of Sgt. Maj. King’s years of drill experience, it would be reasonable to assume that she has none. Though, I did catch something about her Master of Business degree, and her ongoing studies in Theology. So much for this being a promotion based on merit.

Our military is truly rotting from the head. Imagine how many tough, blood-and-guts drill sgts., black and white, with years of experience, were passed over to gin up this “remarkable story” on the second day of black history month.

In spite of your ignorant ranting, Gumby makes a valid point, and asks a legitimate question: Is this classic discrimination and sexism? I suspect that it most likely is in this case. There will be no racial justice in the U.S. until race and sex-based quotas and set-asides are eliminated. Never, ever, period. Gumby is exactly right in calling Affirmative Action what it truly is – Affirmative Racism, (and I would add Affirmative Sexism). Gumby didn’t attack this woman personally, nor do I. We are only speaking out against racism and sexism – pure and simple. If this woman were a black male decorated combat veteran, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. If you weren’t so blinded by hatred, you would see that this is a question of qualifications and merit more than anything else.

There’s no question who is the most bigoted, hate-filled racist in this forum. It is without a doubt YOU. I pity you, and I hope you can change, because that kind of bitterness and hatred eats you away from the inside, and steals your quality of life. And it steals from the ones around you too. And life is way too short for you to allow that.

Peace to you, my friend.

IM MORE THAN HAPPY TO SAY CSM KING ONCE TAUGHT ME MY WAY….COMBAT EXPERIENCE OR NOT SHE TEACHES LEADERSHIP AND PRINCIPLE JUST WHAT “RAW RECRUITS” NEED TO BE A SUCCESS IN THE FIELD… SHE IS AN AWSOME PERSON TOUGH AS NAILS IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT AND I HOPE FOR THAT KEADERSHIP WHEN I GO TO DSS
