    I'm not a fan of any labels.  Labels are too limiting.  I say, do what makes the most sense and is best for the planet and for humanity, not what some  trendy limiting label instructs you to do and think.

    Why George Washington Integrated the Army
    The commander-in-chief initially barred black soldiers from joining the ranks, but he came to understand the value—both moral and strategic—of a diverse force.

    Jun 16, 2025

    WHEN GEORGE WASHINGTON FORMALLY accepted his appointment as commander-in-chief of the newly created Continental Army on June 16, 1775—250 years ago today—he was the army. No other officers had been commissioned, the new troops that Congress had called up had not yet been assembled, and the thousands of militiamen already fighting in Massachusetts wouldn’t know they had been joined to a continental effort until their new leader presented himself. The freshly minted general had an unprecedented opportunity to shape an entirely new fighting force.

    As members of the U.S. Army and the other military services marched past President Donald Trump’s viewing stand on Saturday, I wondered what George Washington would have thought of what has since become the world’s most diverse military organization, one that closely mirrors the makeup of the people they are sworn to protect.

    One in five soldiers serving in the U.S. Army is African American; nearly as many are Hispanic. More than 10 percent label themselves as being of either Native American, Asian or Pacific Islander, or multiracial heritage. Women make up more than 15 percent of the active-duty Army, and, while recent data are difficult to come by, a 2015 study found that more than 5 percent of the Army identified as LGBT. And minorities aren’t just part of the rank and file; more than a quarter of Army officers are nonwhite.

    continues......
