    here's a citation for the factual inaccuracy presented there: https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/demographics-us-military

    racial minorities are slightly over represented among the enlisted in total, but they are definitely far from the majority, and statistically less likely to be among the poorest.

    that said, we should try not to vilify individual service members without specific cause (i.e. that particular person saying reactionary shit), just as a matter of practicality. we have enough enemies as is.
