The stats are even more revealing when broken down by combat arms MOS's versus support MOS's. Turns out the warriors are white, middle class and southern in large part while Hispancis are also overrepresented in combat arms. Blacks are underrepresented.
Another myth gone by the wayside.

And that isn't to say the folks I'm talking about were inferior intellectually. But one guy definitely was and man he could shoot the lights out literally.:-}

From me: Thank you for the service of your son and daughter to our country (and please thank them for me).
From Liberals: How dare you violate our mold of who serves in the military! Just who do you think you are?
Me again: These libtards really anger me.
