i've also read several articles detailing how white males are in the disproportionate majority of combat positions. i remember reading that minority soldiers more often used the military's tech training and loan programs... then got out. middle class white males were more inclined to go the combat route and make it a career. sorry i cannot remember the source... hopefully someone will track it down.
i'm in the AF and would be very disappointed if a draft were put in place. recruiting quotas are full and the standards for entry have never been higher... i just don't see the need. however, i am disappointed at the tone of some people who renounce a draft purely upon the grounds that they owe nothing to the country.
