Except that we do hire the most qualified, yet minorities like myself have been the brunt of "diversity hire" comments, both in civilian and military circles. Someone even implied that somehow I was "given" DG in an AF program (talk about seeing red!) for to diversity quotas. I'm truly glad you've never experienced this.
