09/03/2007: "US casualties in Iraq 75% white"

The LNSG does not support the war against Iraq, a formerly sovreign nation, in the name of exporting the disease of democracy, capitalism and individualism for globalist purposes. However, we are determined to counter the perception that poor minorities make up the bulk of the casualties with some hard facts.

According to Pentagon data, there were nearly 51,500 new black recruits for active duty and reserves in 2001. That number fell to less than 32,000 in 2006, a 38 percent decline.
When only active duty troops are counted, the number of black recruits went from more than 31,000 in 2002 to about 23,600 in 2006, almost one-quarter fewer.
The decline is particularly stark for the Army. Blacks represented about 23 percent of the active Army's enlisted recruits in 2000, but 12.4 percent in 2006.

Thank you for setting aside the convenient logic of television news for some cold, hard facts for a moment.
