Isn't this due to the U.S. Military being more attractive to poorer people, which are statistically more likely to be of color?

- Slippery_John 5y agoYeah. I was having trouble justifying the cost of college and was trying to go for ROTC but couldn't because of medical issues. My dad essentially used the air force as a means to extract himself from generational poverty. We're white, so money was really the only motivation though I think he overall enjoyed his time there (non-combat role).
