If I remember correctly, Admiral Jocko Clark was Native American.

You guys are great adding other outstanding members & units of our military. Thank you all.
Trump & MAGA may try to erase them, but We the People will let them be known

I assume there's some "they fought well because they were segregated, after integration the army was ruined" revisionism out there.

WHY CAN'T WE JUST BE FUCKING PEOPLE???? Jesus fucking CHRIST. you don't spell out all the white people who've been in the military!! Jesus.

That's the essence of the problem. It's white people who get recognition. The myth of the great white military is BS. Crispus Attucks was the first person to give his life for the United States. Yet he is forgotten in history. That's the problem. POC & women are not given their due.

Because it's not white people who are constantly having their patriotism and citizenship questioned.

We know their sacrifice. And it's our duty to teach our children about it, if this administration does not. I will remember, and salute our warriors, of any color. Fuck what this drunk P.O.S. has to say!

pappyparki.bsky.social•28 days ago

That's what we all need to do. I completely agree

To my knowledge this man is still alive. Imagine a piece of shit like Trump and Hegseth saying he didnt matter! They arent worthy to shine his shoes
