Actually, whites and blacks are barely overrepresented. The biggest over/under representation is by region. The South produces far more people who enlist in the military than any other region and the Northeast is the lowest.
I think this bodes well should CWII ever erupt. The majority of recruits would deign to fire on their own people since you know damn well the POTUS would start with the south being that we represent the largest contingent of gun owners in the nation.
This is great information, thank you Kabar!
It’s interesting that ID and NV are high and UT is low.
The information by state is more useful than the region grouping. WA, OR, AK and HI are all overrepresented individually, then they are thrown in with low ratio CA to make an “underrepresented” Pacific region. Doesn’t make sense.
