3. The demographics of Senior non commisioned officers

in the services today are pretty amazing - African American Women have seized the opportunity offered in the services and are moving in to SNCO and Warrant Officer ranks at a greater rate than their percentage in the ranks. And their percentage in the ranks is greater than it is in the general population

The most educated demographic in the services now are AA women. Which, on average, is true in the general population as well.

Even though RWNJs love to claim patriotism and service as something they are uniquely qualified to claim as their own -AA actually serve at a much higher rate than white folks - and the least represented demographic of any is UPPER MIDDLE CLASS TO WEALTHY WHITE PEOPLE


So there is grist for the mill if you're going to focus on AA service - and truthfully it is a story needing told
