I think there assertion of overall underrepresentation is fiction, at least in the enlisted ranks I think it is, heck there were tons of minorities in my day, I dooubt it has lessened. As for the officer ranks, well, this gets into the nasty little minefield of resources in the population and their fitness, intelligence and character. I'll leave all that crap alone because like y'all I am not interested in that, if the transformation puts the good and the competent in our midst and fills theirs with deadheads, well, in terms of what we think is going to happen domestically, yeah, probably not a bad thing, and the death convulsions of an empire that was will ensure more and more bodies get thrown away in futile campaigns abroad until the replacement rate drops so bad that taking anybody is the norm and in fact mandatory service comes on line, then morale and everything hits the sh*tter...
A lot of pain between there and now but the progs are leaving history no other options.
PONR reached, plan accordingly.
