zaitcev (npub13xw…yh7m) They keep coming back to "recruiting roots" because they're traditionally the highest response and recruiting rates. Blacks and women didn't start signing up in significant numbers until the government threw tons of money, benefits, and free tuition at veterans. Even so, it took 20 years of depressed wages and the loss of entry level jobs for them to consider the military as a career option.

If the Armed Forces need wartime heroes, they need (Southern) white men. If they need bodies, they can tap the newer sources of recruits, but they'd have to boost the sign up bonuses so much they'd blow out the budget.
