How interesting that the "black leaders" statements are exactly opposite to the facts.
Now perhaps they can start a race war by saying hispanics are _______(fill in the blanks) because more of them are lost than blacks who lose fewer of the larger percentage.
So more whites are sacrificed to the gods of war on behalf of this Nation.
Why do they even think about this stuff? How sick to divide up our American soldiers this way.
This cant be true. I was sure women and minorities were surely the hardest hit!
That sounds about right. Read somewhere that minorities join to learn a trade and get money for college. Crazy white boys join to fight...
I went combat arms, too.
In today's volunteer military, it's still a fact that black enlistees are more likely to choose support positions (truck drivers, warehouse workers, food service workers, etc), while white enlistees are more likely to gravitate toward combat roles.
Charley Wrangel, Jesse Jackson et al know this; they simply lie because they know they'll get away with it.
Skelton's congressional district went 65% for Bush in 2004. It's anticipated his seat will go Republican when Skelton retires (he is 73 years old now, in his 15th term).
Perception is all.
My son't combat battalion is over 90% white- and- let me add...MANY are college grads. Another day, another sterotype down the drain.
