"Even as the Pentagon plans significant troop reductions, the U.S. Armed Forces remain by far the most powerful and most expensive military in the world. But who makes up America's over 1.3 million active personnel and its over 800,000 reserves, and how is the composition of the military changing?

Let's just say there are no surprises. You won't find the sons and daughters of the rich and famous on the charts. As they said during the Civil War, "a rich man's war and a poor man's fight." |

As has been said, that is no surprise … and it's been that way for a very long time and not just in the US. But that being said, after serving over a decade as a Grunt in my youth … Better some join the military than be without a job/income and in turn be a productive member of society … May sound like "cold hard facts" … but it is what it is … |
