Army having hard time Recruiting Blacks

http://news.yahoo.com/fc?tmpl=fc&cid...S_Armed_Forces

The Army says fewer young Blacks are recruitable nowadays. They cite two reasons:

1. Blacks are in more opposition to the war in general and, therefore, don't want to go.

2. Blacks fear combat.

The article also talks about women and the lack of availibility and willingness but I am interested in what their studies have shown regarding Blacks.


Does this seem accurate to you all? Is this an adequate representation of the sentiment out there in your opinion?

Would you be able to be recruited?

How much does your sentiment about the war have to do with your sense of patriotism?
