I've noted, with interest, that a large number of these fighting men and women seem to have Hispanic last names. God bless all of them. American Indians have the highest per capita service record of any group (my family included).
Hispanics are mostly American Indians. Many Hispanics are Christian but they are from a warrior culture that valued bravery, honor and sacrifice in battle.
The Military is great place to find these things.

Actually, Hispanics as a group aren't mostly Indian. Cubans are mainly European/African descent, ditto Puerto Ricans and Venezuelans and Colombians and several other SA countries. Mexicans however are primarily NA. Here I must also disagree with you. Not all NA cultures were 'warrior' cultures. One doesn't think of the Ojibwa in the same way one thinks of the Comanche. While the military has named a 'fighting' helicopter the Apache, the Cherokee have an...SUV.
