Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Kicking out all the minorites and then sending the white guys to go die in Iran seems counter productive for their racist goals.
Its not about sending them to die. Its making sure that the military consists of a monoculture of people from similar background that can be used to oppress minorities.
You don't need a monoculture for that. Plenty of black people murdered Vietnamese civilians.
You are considering an army designed to attack foreign enemies. What this administration is doing, is preparing an army to fight domestic enemies.
What better way to leave domestic enemies defenseless than to send their most physically fit people overseas? What better way to make sabotaging the military-industrial complex inpalpable even as it crushes you than to make it result in your cousin's overextended platoon getting overrun and killed?
They have ICE, the regular police, the national guard, assorted brownshirt militias, the air force, space force, and more to fight domestic enemies. They can manage without the army.
In case you didn't know, "army" refers to a specific branch of the (US) armed forces, the one specializing in large-scale ground operations such as the invasion of Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The US Army lowering enlistment standards or drafting citizens does not (necessarily) affect other military branches. Sometimes "army" is used as short for "armed forces", and I agree that if all US armed forces were to be non-racist in their recruitment standards then the US government would be in trouble.
But the army is a great place to dump unwanted or dangerous citizens/subjects because there are lots of opportunities for them to get killed through (deliberate) mismanagement by their superiors or by other branches.
