WASHINGTON (AP) — Two Navy SEALs based in Virginia are facing disciplinary action for racist conduct, and several of their platoon and team leaders are being disciplined for leadership failures, according to a defense official.

The two enlisted Team 4 members are being punished for developing racist memes targeting a Black sailor in their platoon and circulating them in a group chat with other team members, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details of an ongoing investigation. The memes depicted the sailor as a slave, according to visuals viewed by The Associated Press.

According to the official, the sailor who was targeted reported the incidents this year, but they took place beginning in 2022 and the memes circulated for years. The sailor had been in one of the SEAL Team 4 platoons but had his qualifications and SEAL trident revoked last year. He alleged that his failure to remain a SEAL was due to the racist treatment.



Two officials said that as a result of the investigation, which was conducted by Naval Special Warfare Group 2, the sailor’s SEAL qualifications are being reinstated and he will get back pay. The group oversees SEAL Team 4 and the platoons that make up the team, located at Joint Base Little Creek-Fort Story in Hampton Roads, Virginia

David goggins never talked about that.

:troll:
I think he did


It’s the military.. bound to be some racists at some point. Maybe more so than in regular life.

Like I said, I had to cuss out some at every command I ever worked at. This type of shyt is usually not tolerated though, not because there aren’t racists around. Something this blatant brings in bad press and bad optics.

It is also dangerous, you have to depend on these people. So normally it’s not this blatant.

They’ll do underhand shyt like fukk with your rank/pay, make your job difficult, keep you from assignments, etc. All happened to me and there will be c00ns that sign off on it too.

Sad truth is if you don’t want racism in the military, then you got to join your own ethnicity’s military.

They named this Malaysian F-18 pilot “Kunte” :mjpls::


I know the whole culture around callsigns is halfway playful, but that’s a little extra.

Any military where you’re not the majority ethnicity is going to be ugly.

This is the same story for the last 4,000 years or however long militaries and war have existed. Don’t expect 2020’s, 4020’s or 10020’s (if we’re still around by then) to be any different.
