Also, non Hispanic whites are overrepresented in ultra combat units like Blue Seals, Green Berets.

Black officers and enlisted troops are scarce in some special operations units in highest demand, according to data provided by the Pentagon to USA TODAY. For instance, eight of 753 SEAL officers are black, or 1%.

Do you know how to read the statistical table. listed in your first link? Which is also the one I used.

Black people are 13.3 of the population.Unless the U.S. Census Bureau is lying.

% of men in the U.S. military that are black? 16.8 %. A difference of 3.5 points in over-representation.

% of women in the U.S. military that are black? 29.2% -A difference of 15.9 percentage points.Again an over-representation.

Now since the military is predominantly male, (over 80%), I did a rough estimate of 18%.But working the numbers, that percentage is a little over 19%.I guess you're right about my untrue post as I UNDERESTIMATED the number of black people serving our country.

Feel free to continue posting about important things like Bubba Wallace.Knock yourself out.
