Insane!

What shit. People join the military from all walks of life. Plus that guy doesn't know that those blacks are poor. They just
assumed it, which shows a racist bent. Personally,
I don't see a black person's pic in the paper and automatically think they are poor.
I have lots of friends in the military or in traning. One's the son of a coal miner, one's the son of a veternarian, the son and daughter (son will be a 2Lt in June, daughter is a Navy enlisted in radio stuff), and if it wasn't for those cocksucking pencil pushing REMF feather merchants at DODMERB I'd be in and my parent's both have postgraduate degrees. Every person in that list has the best education that an unholy amount of money from Alabama can provide. All officers are in college, all the enlisted could have gone to almost any school in the nation but
decided on their own to go into the military because they thought it was the right thing to do.
Just because you are in the military doesn't mean you were poor.
And just because you're black doesn't mean your poor either.
That person apparently failed to realize either statement.
