"That's what I think, too. I also think the military wasn't designed to be an instrument of social change. The problem with that is that's what they were saying about me fifty years ago: 'Blacks shouldn't serve with whites, it would disrupt the unit.' You know what? It *did* disrupt the unit. The unit got over it. The unit changed. I'm an admiral in the US Navy and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Beat that with a stick."
