Basically, how to say the army is fascist.

By what definition? Whites are actually under-represented in the ARMY, and the Military is the only organization in the entire country that really implements affirmative action.
POC and women get promotions really, really, really fast. To the point where if you have a white man who is over-qualified and next in line for a promotion and a black man in the same unit who is completely unqualified for the job they will actually get a waiver to get the black promoted first.
This happened to us. We had a black dude come to our unit, he was a POG and we were supposed to give him OTJ training. But before we could even train him on the basics of his job a flag went off in the pentagon because the guy had like 5 years of service in the ARMY but was still an E-4, but because he had that many years of service and was now a new MOS that was deemed not to have enough POC in leadership positions, they yanked him from our unit and sent him to WLC and promoted him to E-5 over the guys who had years of seniority and experience over him.
So then we had this E-5 who had no idea how to do the job, and when the E-4s who were supposed to train him tried to, he would pull rank on them and then the E-4's would get pulled to the side by the higher ups and chewed out for not being able to train this guy on how to do his job. He eventually was so under-performing that they had to send him to the TOC because he couldn't do basic scout stuff like use a radio or read a map.
With women it was even crazier. Drinking in the barracks. Buncha' E-4s with Ranger tabs, sniper school, combat patches. End up over by the female medics barracks. All these women are getting promoted to E-5 and thought we must be new to the ARMY because they out-ranked us and they were genuinely puzzled and confused when they realized a lot of the guys they were talking to had been deployed twice, and had prestigious army schools under their belts, and they themselves had just finished AIT 4 months ago and had yet to be deployed.
