The Commando Team

The commando team that assaulted the house in search of the nerve gas was made up of four whites, one black, one Hispanic, and one Asian. This reminds me of the World War II movies that had Jewish Americans, Polish Americans, Italian Americans, and Irish Americans playing soldiers, sailors, and airmen. The movie makers wanted to show the contributions of every ethnic group during the war. Today the movie makers are trying to be politically correct and show a commando team that is diverse. But Special Forces is almost all white and black. The reason is simple. All applicants who are accepted for Seal and Green Beret training must qualify for Top Secret clearance. Most Asian applicants are rejected immediately because of this requirement. The same is true for Hispanic applicants. They are perceived as not being Americans and it is difficult, if not impossible, for them to get a top secret clearance. I had a co-worker who graduated from UCLA and then joined the Air Force. He was assigned to cryptology and he had top secret clearance. He couldn't discuss what he did while in the Air Force. My co-worker told me he once asked his commanding officer why there weren't any Asians in cryptology. His commanding officer told him that Asians couldn't get top secret clearance.
