For a time when I was in the Army

5. The thing that struck me among the officers was the bible thumping evangelism

The racism was always there implicit in legal procedures and how they were used, NJP, courts martial and the level of courts martial imposed, and the administrative separation procedures and characterization of service upon involuntary separation of service. I say this but can't prove it; I don't know of any studies that examine which racial and ethnic groups porportionately gets the BCDs, DDs, or OTHs or who comparatively gets the most courts martials as opposed to non judicial punishments.

That being said no one will ever convince me that Afro-Americans aren't discriminated against by the military justice system, even by commands with high ranking black officers or jags involved in the military justice process. God help the individual who bucks that system.
