Are there any pics of African American Special Forces?

Since there's a lot of jackassery going on in this thread, I'll sneakily hijack it.

You're from Nantucket? I spent most of my childhood's summers there. Beautiful place.

No, but I like the poem.


Jaws, the movie, was filmed on Nantuket island.

A tab?

(source: Army Regulation 670-1: "Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia".)

I'm waiting to see the guy who has SF, Ranger, Sapper, President's Hundred, Airborne, and Mountain tabs all at once (there's an airborne element in the 10th Mountain that has both Airborne and Mountain tabs as their unit patch).

PS: While we're on the topic of non-white special operators, let's not forget Filipino OMFG D3LT4 Sergeant Major Ed Bugarin, made semi-famous by the USA network TV show "Combat Missions".

Thanks for that info, i figured it was probably a tab, but wasn't for sure.

Guys, the reason why you don't see a lot of non-white people in the special forces is because of...
simple math

How many non-white people join the US Military?
How many want to go into Special Ops?
How many qualify for special operations
How many pass the courses, etc

The number gets smaller an smaller as you keep going. Theres a lot more white people in the US an in the US Military, etc, so theres going to be a higher percentage of white people in the different branches of the US Military.


That whole their poor swimmers, not smart, etc because of their race is BS.

thank you. you voiced what I was about type.

I saw an open air movie of Jaws when I was in Plymoth MA, it was pretty cool.

"just like they cant be pilots because of there sickel cells. *roll eyes*"

I agree that most black people cannot swim which I find funny as where they come from like my dad (Jamaica) is surrounded by water. But rolling your eyes to sickel cell I dont like at all. Let me tell you about it....

Sickel cell can kill a person if they get it bad enough, its when the red blood cells (normally round) turn into "half-moon" shape which block up blood flow and cause great deal of pain. Things that cause this is straining muscles or sitting/laying or even standing in a odd position.

Let me just say if you had it you would cry your little heart out because of the pain, I greatly respect people that have it and endure pain which we that don't have it will never feel.



Edit* - first post shame it had to be a moan, my dad has it so I found it offensive.

How come there aren't any black people in Jaws?

[LaoSexMachine]

How come there aren't any black people in Jaws?

Cause they wouldn't want to live in a small New England hick town in the first place

In general black people are more athletic than white people. Look at your NBA for example or all those long runners at the Olympic games, mostly blacks..

SF's units consist mostly of pretty conservative people. Would they like to have black people around them?

Regards from a white boy.

Maybe you need to rephrase. You should say that they are in general more athletic than your fat azz. From my experiences they lack in endurance (they really suck at long distance running and road marches - that might be one of the reasons not many of them join SF/Rangers etc.).

So is Hoot based off a real character or what? have we reached a conclusion?

boy, those BLACK Kenyans sure do suck at endurance. boy oh boy

[abncougar]

they don't join SOF becuase they don't want to join the military of a country that enslaved their KIN folk. Praise Jesse Jackson!!! Amen!!! Reparations for everyone!!!


----i had to

[Lt. James Anderson]

FYI, I served in the US Army. I wouldn't know anything about Kenyan army. Their standards must be pretty "high" ??!

[Lurps]

This has been studied in universities so this is no racist crab. The Kenyans are from east Africa, most african americans are from western Africa, totally different genes. I apologize if someone is offended, i just think its weird to say were all the same when you look at the Olympics. http://www.jonentine.com/reviews/national_post_2001.htm
