Quickly scanning the crowd shots, there were about 80% blonds or European looking people in and out of uniform, ,and behind the podium, maybe 3% obvious minorities, and no females in uniform.
Service Members in uniform, especially in training, hate Dog and Pony shows. Especially BS politicians with "ideas to improve the Military" - unless it's better pay, benefits to save them money, and MWR.
