Is Military Service For Poor People?
The claim from liberals of late, especially those like John Kerry and Charlie Rangel, is that our military heavily made up of desperate poor people who turn to service because they have no other options. A lot of time and effort has been put into debunking that claim, but I think this graph below pretty much blows it out of the water:
Seems to me like our military is made up pretty evenly of people from all levels of economic success.
If anything, the poor are underrepresented.
