Why don't the military have race-specific units anymore? You'd think there'd be better cohesion and camaraderie among your co-ethnics.

I swear to God nobody on this website has ever been in a sports team and it shows

I couldn't properly articulate it at the time, but one of the most shocking experiences of my life was encountering people who had never played sports or been outside of their bourgeois West Coast bubble as a high school football player from a Southern state doing dual enrollment.

(Assuming the civilian society is desegregated and the different ethnic groups speak the same language)
This doesn't work because that unit will eventually have to report to an officer who isn't of their ethnicity and if they're emboldened by ethnocentrism then they won't take the officer's orders seriously.

American servicemen, at least, are perfectly capable of building camaraderie across racial lines.
>>
>>65480513
Camaraderie between men of the same age and native language is very easily built upon shared experience, zero need for "muh racial cohesion and ethnic blood" (a concept which itself turns ludicrous in the USA where white people can either be named "John Smith" or "Jan Pawlowksowitch" or "Luigi Macaronizzigiano")

The niggers would riot because each of them would wake up literally surrounded with niggers.

if the niggers wanted to be surrounded by niggers, they would go to africa.

1. Gurkhas still exist
2. At a core level, the US and most western states have embraced Civic Nationalism over Ethnic Nationalism. I could write paragraphs on it and all of us could have a fun shit flinging debate on it but what that ultimately means is that shared citizenship alone is enough of an equalizer that all other distinctions are considered unimportant. In the past, that wasn't always the case. But this is the state of the world in 2026 and so with few exceptions, an X-ethnicity American unit will be seen as an outlier because all that matters is that they are American.
>Off-topic but now I am thinking about the part in The Deer Hunter where Walken has giga ptsd and the doctor asks if his last name is Slavic or Russian and he tells him it's American. Really great small moment.

Why do you type like such a faggot?
>>
Only works in a UK Colonial system where regiments are geographical and the race is a regional average. You're otherwise restricting yourself and creating unwanted and unhealthy divisions between sister units.

For the US there would be no benefit and the only "benefit" in WW2 of segregated units was the idea that there would be too many racists that would refuse to serve if their unit was integrated. This obviously doesn't apply anymore and perhaps wasn't even true at that time.
>>
This is just a /pol/bait thread isn't it?
>>
>>65480912
>Why do you type like such a faggot?
You've got it backwards.
You just have been conditioned by sports teams to see everyone that wasn't indoctrinated into their culture as a faggot.
You're really just identifying anon as not having been part of sports teams and your sports team conditioning causes you to see that as faggotry.
>>
>>65480920
>the only "benefit" in WW2 of segregated units was the idea that there would be too many racists
Arguably it let commanders selectively use those units as cannon fodder too.
>>
>>65480924
>This is just a /pol/bait thread isn't it?
Of course it is.
Did you see the bixnood thread that went up at the same time?
It's b& now and I think some of the missing posts here were probably the OP of that thread.
>>
>>65480513
an enemy nation trying to kill you all does more for camaraderie than skin color ever could

>>65480847
>1. Gurkhas still exist
Kind of a special case, since they're exclusively recruited from an entirely different country.

>letting fringe groups and career politicians into power did
Do you think politics was just a hobby before then?
Professional politicians have existed since politics started.
If you want to point to a moment that fuelled professional politics, it's salary for politicians but even before then, they just had to make a living through influence and bribery instead of a payroll.

What triggered the current state of african-america neighborhoods was crack, massacres of rising middle class blacks, systematic discrimination to keep them locked out of ownership, and denial of benefits that whites got in the same situation.
It took until well after vietnam for blacks to reliably access the GI bill or veteran-based housing. And by then the crack epidemic had basically destroyed any hope for advancement for black kids in the ghetto.

Talking about fringe groups is basically saying that civil rights caused black crime, which is like saying that they were better off being your slaves which is want you really mean but won't quite say. Now that I've broken the ice, you're going to say how they really were better off as your slaves and you should make them your slaves again, for their own good of course. Unless you mean to genocide them instead.

You're just a stormfag trying to shit up other boards because /pol/ got too brown for you.

Multiracial countries can't be choosers so they will have to do with what they have. Not optimal but manageable.
