That&#x27;s an interesting point. I had not seen that.<p>I can&#x27;t refute this with stats, but I would not say I have seen the same thing either. I would be curious to know if different branches of the military have widely disparate demographics. I suspect the Air Force takes in the most highly educated and also wealthiest recruits, and that the Army takes in the least educated, least wealthy.<p>In the Marine Corps I saw big differences in backgrounds based upon MOS. My boot camp platoon was roughly 50% Hispanic and most of them ended up 0300 - infantry.
