FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — A soldier in the 101st Airborne Division who claims he's "not racist" during every argument he has about the Confederate flag, has surprisingly negative things to say about his supply NCOs.
After weeks of trying to clear the installation to move on to his next duty station, Spc. Marshall James has failed his inspection with the central issue facility (CIF) and his unit's supply room for the third time. CIF and supply rooms are known to be a nightmare for soldiers who are attempting to clear any base in the Army, regardless of if they are simply changing duty stations, getting out of the Army, or retiring.
"Listen, I'm not racist, I have a lot of black friends, but I can't stand how lazy and worthless every single supply NCO is," said James. "I don't like to stereotype people, because that's not American, but I swear I've never seen a white supply sergeant. Not that it makes a difference of course" James said after his third time being told to go 'clean his gear' again.
"I keep cleaning my body armor and it looks good to me, but those people keep saying it's still dirty. I've even used the pressure washer at the car wash and they still say it's not good enough. I didn't mean to 'those people' in a stereotypical meaning either."
