The colliding military and progressive minds part 7: The need for afirmative action

Zinni and other Generals wrote a 'friend-of-the-court brief' in defense of Affirmative Action.

As the brief states:

Based on decades of experience, amici have concluded that a highly qualified, racially diverse officer corps educated and trained to command our nation’s racially diverse enlisted ranks is essential to the military’s ability to fulfill its principal mission to provide national security.
...
The absence of minority officers seriously threatened the
military’s ability to function effectively and fulfill its mission
to defend the nation.
...
The crisis that mandated aggressive integration of the officer corps in the service academies and in ROTC programs is a microcosm of what exists in our society at large, albeit with potentially more severe consequences to our nation’s welfare. Broad access to the education that leads to leadership roles is essential to public confidence in the fairness and integrity of public institutions, and their ability to perform their vital functions and missions.
