question about the military

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

It is general orthodoxy in some quarters that the military uses the poor and minorities as cannon fodder.  This myth dates back to Vietnam, when the economic angle certainly had some elements of truth but the minority one didn't and doesn't. Anything that points out that these assumptions are wrong, as demonstrated by dead0, are called biased.

Those quarters also have a view of the military that sees soldiers as cannon fodder, which certainly is not the case in the United States military.
