		<description>Let&#039;s put some facts on the table,&lt;br/&gt;the U.S. armed forces is not disproportionately made up of people of color.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Pentagon, and others have analyzed Armed Forces demographics and the current makeup of the all-voluntary military looks like America. Where they are different, the data show that the average soldier is slightly better educated and comes from a slightly wealthier, more rural area. Further, it was found that the military (and Army specifically) included a higher proportion of blacks and lower proportions of other minorities but a proportionate number of whites. Additionally, recruiting was not drawing disproportionately from racially concentrated areas.</description>
