WARNING: DO NOT TELL TRUMP ABOUT THIS

All those tanks and armored vehicles and most of the troops that will march in his birthday parade? They are coming from the US Army III Corps, Fort Cavazos, Texas.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT LET TRUMP KNOW ANY OF THIS.

FIRST:
Fort Cavazos was previously named Fort Hood, named for Confederate General John Bell Hood. In a burst of DEI, the Dept of Defense renamed the fort for General Richard Cavazos, the first HISPANIC officer to be promoted to General Officer. SECDEF Pete Hogsbreath has said he will rename the fort to Fort Hood.

SECOND:
The current Commanding General of III Corps -- and thus the commanding general of all those tanks, armored vehicles, and most of the troops in Trump's parade is Lieutenant General (three stars) Kevin D. Admiral -- who is -- get ready for this -- BLACK.

THIRD:
But it gets even better. Before LTG Admiral assumed command of III Corps, the commander was LTG Sean Bernabe -- who is -- get ready for it -- HISPANIC.

FOURTH:
Oh, but that's not the best part. LTG Bernabe's father is a retired army Lieutenant Colonel, a Vietnam veteran and the son of a HISPANIC IMMIGRANT FROM BAJA CALIFORNIA WHO WAS A LABOR ORGANIZER FOR CESAR CHAVEZ!!!!

And how do I know this? I served alongside LTG Bernabe's father, our families are friends, we stay in touch, our children are friends who stay in touch.

Now do you understand why I said DO NOT LET TRUMP KNOW ANY OF THIS???

I sure won't tell! There ain't no way he can un-stir this melting pot. Or un-do our mosaic. Someone needs to tell that bunch of white people that not all white people feel the same as they do. That's a beautiful thing you just shared with us AverageOldGuy. Thanks.

That is what makes us great.

I don't know about others on here, but I can't imagine how boring and uninteresting it would be to live in a country where everyone was the same. However, I can imagine how wonderful it would be if we could just get rid of the cult MAGA people.

5. I almost want to have a front row seat to witness his mango face turn blood-orange red with hate

...at the sight of all these brave Black and Hispanic men and women marching in the parade.

Silly Krasnov, you cannot make the rest of us hate non-whites in the manner only you and your MAGAT followers are capable of.

Another fact Krasnov is probably oblivious to: this is the 250th anniversary of the founding of the Army. What these people are really marching for has fuck-all to do with a tin-potty dictator's birthday!
