He is a Marine Corps General Officer, period! I guess that black description is for civilians. I worked directly for 2 General Army Officers that just happened to be black. Made no difference in job performance one way or the other. Oh, they were outstanding officers.
As a former U. S. A. F. Lt. G., I salute the real work that was done to achieve that senior rank, and stand by the very same reasoning that there has always been the need for diversity in leadership in the U. S. Military!
@@larrybaker9924 Sir, the rank of a 4 Star General isn't a participation trophy. Affirmative action has no place in the ranking system of United States Military. I salute this man for his service, and no disrespect to him, but to start, his color doesn't matter to his real brothers in arms, and second, if another person of his ethnicity had worked as hard as him, I'm sure they would have gotten the rank.. All your statement did was delegitimize his efforts and honor.
on one hand i think it is noteworthy to see progress and inclusion in our society, on the other I think its time to stop highlighting race as a difference, because if you put one mans heart in another it beats (you get the point)
I was a sailor during obama years. At A school we did PT with an E6. I saw marines did PT with E7 and E8. It was awesome to see. Never did I PT with a chief.
As a retired Marine I know the danger in his words. He sees it as vital that our beloved Marine Corps be “diverse” as though it is not. The Marine Corps is one of the last hold outs in this country that values MERITOCRACY over checking a box. Not for long with generals who worry over how many of what color is in important positions. It’ll all come out in the wash. Trust me.
it should not have taken 246 years for the marines to promote a black person to the rank of 4 star general. are you telling me that until now there were not any who were qualified? I think not
This son of a United States Army drill sergeant father salutes you sir. Hooah and Oorah!!!!!
Honestly I don't care what color this man is. As long as he honors the oath he took and acts accordingly.
I respect what everybody did@Bryan flake
🤣😂 keep on believing

Neg....you have to be qualified to carry the position. This "promotion" is based upon race.
@@ralphgreenjr.2466 Lets be honest....you are in the Army? Not the highest level of competence...unless you are spec ops....
Congratulations!!! Dedication, hard work and focus will finally bring the accomplishments desired. Proud of you my brother.
Looks like he would still be waiting if he were white.
And sell out
@@davewhite3629how
Outstanding achievement general. Hard work and dedication definitely paid off. You make me proud to be an American!
What an honorable achievement!!!!
Let's hope he has a mind of his own. Most people just go by the book. We need more human leaders and less like general milley.
Too bad it wasn't the content of his character that got him the job.
He's sure lucky to be black, or is he transgender?
racist republican
@@jerrybrickley2115 He’s simply the first 4-star general in the marines to be black, an amazing accomplishment that’s shows his dedication to his job.
@@GunsDontKillSSRIDoes you mean like Trumpers followers smh
Got to meet him in Lejune in early 2021. It was an honor. Congratulations sir.
Powerful! God bless the Marine Corps!🙏

Absolutely awesome! I just wish it didn't take so long for this to happen.
Amazing and wonderful.🤠♥️
CONGRATULATIONS GENERAL LANGLEY!!!
What a great honor, and long overdue.
Why is it long overdue?
It is long over due that a black Marine should have achieved this rank at least 40 years ago.

SEMPER FI sir! And congratulations.
Good job on being humble soldier. I pray that you reject death forever ok sir.😊
Chappy James was the first four star General in US history and he fought in three war's ✌🏽
Thank you that's what I was Looking for❤. May God. BLESS
Knew him in 1987 when he was a 2nd Lt. ! Great Marine!
Where was he stationed at that time?
Outstanding...!!!!!
I love las Vegas Nevada 🇺🇲
Congratulations brother
I know his parents are so proud.
Congratulations General Langley! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Congratulations!
Congratulations.
The bigger question is why did it take so long?
We all know why, but I'm glad that it eventually happened.
One heck of a sculpture that chiseled those features.
Semper fi sir
Congratulations what an amazing achievement he seems like a real badass too
Sometimes Right Is Better Than Might
Wow!!
He definitely earned that rank, orah. On the other hand we got female four stars and admirals who were just handed it because they are female.
Excellent!

Nice to see this

Yet you the first to point out race if the black was doing something wrong

Whats the name of the reporter she's amazing !!
Congratulations!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✨💯
He looks like a US Marine. Most generals look like they have the 1130 MOS. Chow hound.
He's not black, he's a Marine.
Who cares what color he is!
Notice he has a bronze star and no combat action ribbon!
POG!
Awesome
We have a lot of 4 star black general in Hollywood
I was a sailor during obama years. At A school we did PT with an E6. I saw marines did PT with E7 and E8. It was awesome to see. Never did I PT with a chief.
I was an Army CPT in the 1980's. Our O-6 colonel led our occasional 9-mile run.

Congratulation sir.tamilnadu.
it should not make a dam what color a person is at what they are doing they need to stop making everything color rated
And they DIDN'T!
It's recognizing an important milestone for the Corps and for equality in our country. Not recognizing it would be morally wrong imo.
it should not have taken 246 years for the marines to promote a black person to the rank of 4 star general. are you telling me that until now there were not any who were qualified? I think not

Shouldn't have taken this long. Congratulations General Langley!!!

How long did it take for a black men to be come a 4 star general in marine they say there no racism
Congratulations but only a sharpshooter?
5-star coming soon.
Sharpshooter? Not Expert?
Yayyyy. Why focus on the content of his character when we can focus on the color of his skin? That’s anti racist these days, right?
Sorry. When you fill a billet ONLY because of race, you have failed. I am so glad to be gone...no longer my Corps. We are in a bad period of time.
I can't help but notice. Every time this happens it's always a black person reporting. I'm sure it's no coincidence.
Thank God he didn’t have to earn it
