One of the myths that Steve Sailer (a great, great man) has promoted over the years is that US Military recruits disproportionately hail from the Scotch-Irish South, whereas the truth is that Appalachia is a recruitment black hole.

The Army and Marines exclude anyone who can't score at the 30th percentile of the ASVAB, the safer Air Force and Navy can afford to be more picky and only admit those that reach the 50th. Blacks are badly hurt by this, but they're still overrepresented in the USAF/Navy.

BLACKS LOVE THE MILITARY! However, they don't seem to much enjoy the fighting part of being a soldier, because blacks made up just 9.49% of Iraq fatalities. The Army lets you pick your MOS and blacks drift into the safest possible jobs. https://usiraq.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000671#miltfatstat …
