Number Of Blacks In Military Down

September 7, 2007 | ISSUE 43•36

A Defense Department report states that the percentage of blacks among active-duty recruits fell from 20 percent to 13 percent since the Afghanistan and Iraq wars began. What do you think?

  • Of course. Iraq has deteriorated to the point where blacks are practically safer in D.C.

  • I think it's a cultural thing. Blacks just seem to not like fighting in mismanaged quagmires as much as whites do.

  • Crap. Soon we won't have any troops left 'cause all the white soldiers will try to be cool by imitating the black soldiers.
