Number Of Blacks In Military Down
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."
Louis Haberman,
Systems Analyst
"I think it's a cultural thing. Blacks just seem to not like fighting in mismanaged quagmires as much as whites do."
Eric Gill,
Ticket Broker
"Crap. Soon we won't have any troops left 'cause all the white soldiers will try to be cool by imitating the black soldiers."
