I believe the correct amount of active-duty soldiers would be 52,280
This was the site I got the information from.

Same for college opportunities, but I?m sure you think that black people were accepted at the same rate as whites to college.
The truth is, affirmative action gave minority students a leg up on being admitted.
... you experienced de Jure and de facto segregation ... that they have anything to pass down to their children or grandchildren? Land? Money? A house?
They all got the education they wanted. More importantly, they understood what it means to be an American and the have morals that they will not compromise.
It?s less about blacks and white and more about the haves and the have nots. The haves merely limiting the amount of opportunities for the have nots which make people fight over the small scraps that are left over.
I grew up a have-not, saw what the haves had, and determined that I would get me some of that for myself and my family. So now I get to pay taxes on a six-figure income. No one limited me. I limited myself because I decided that people and relationships were more important than amassing riches in excess of my need.

Seems like a simple solution. Not as much fun as burning down cities, but simple.

How many years has Nancy Peolosi walked past those statues that she now say are offensive? She hasn't said anything about them for decades.
And NOW she's offended by them?
