AA men and women serve this nation's military [View all]
At a rate higher than white Americans do. There are many reasons for the disparity - an opportunity for training and tuition assistance, travel, a steady paycheck and often it's a way out of a poor situation.
It's odd that certain Americans that loudly profess their patriotism often down play and dismiss this service. (JK it isn't at all odd or surprising)
And then there are the Alt-Right racists. People who hate - well they hate all of us here in DU, but AA and other POC particularly.
People like Sean Urbanski a member of the Alt-Reich Nation who didn't like it when a black man would not step aside when he was told to by a white man
So the US Army just lost a young brand new Second Lieutenant to extremist violence, killed in an attack - In Maryland.
