Black military enlistment drops under Bush.
Nov, 11, 2007

In the last several years under President Bush, black enlistment in the Army has dropped “by about half.” CBS News reports that this trend is fueled by strong dissatisfaction with Bush’s Iraq policies:

The Department of Defense has studied why black enlistment has plummeted and found many of the people they call “influencers” in the black community - parents, teachers, clergy - feel in general that Bush administration policies have hurt African Americans. And more than any other group, they oppose the war in Iraq. […]

But even here, there are gung-ho Marines troubled by this war. Albert Thames retired as a staff sergeant 30 years ago.

“The war is very unpopular, and it’s going to get worse,” he said. “As long as it’s a volunteer army, I’d tell ‘em not to volunteer.”

“A recent CBS News poll showed 83 percent of African-American respondents said the Iraq invasion was a mistake. In addition, the president’s approval rating has hit rock-bottom with black voters at about 9 percent, according to a 2006 Pew Research Center poll.” 4:23 pm

gee...I couldn't imagine why...

Damn! Terrible news for the Bush reelection campaign. 9%. And he was such a popular man with blacks previously.
He won't get reelected now, thats for sure.

No, you again miss the point, although nothing is new there, Dom1

Bush is a failure and his war is illegal and he is always crapping on minorities....why should they support an illegal war when Bush is crapping on minorities in this nation?

See, this makes Blacks the smarter population.

Word to idiot..he can't run for re-election, but i'm sure with a 32% approval rating from whites, republicans and women, he couldn't get elected as dog catcher in Iceland...you know?

i think the premise of your article is wrong...... Harvard has proven that the media is clearly slanted towards the left... And considering that comapny's use the media to sell the products then the same can be said about the media trying to sell it's agenda...

I propose the fall in any groups enlistment rate is in direct proportion of the medias anti war perspective.... And considering that blacks are one the most heavily marketed groups second to men from the age of 18-30 which by the way include blacks...

I dont find it any coincidence that the same avenues used by company's to sell there goods are the same platforms these said avenue's project the anti war message....

ROFL again. It just never stops with you. Let me 'splain it to you Lucy. I know, and most intelligent people know (which is why you are so confused) that GWB can't run again. Which is kinda what makes it so funny when idiots point out his low approval ratings.
But then again, I see you ignore the even LOWER ratings for the dem congress. (I know, I know...its not REALLY the dem congress people are so upset with even thought thats what they say, Its because "Bush wields the veto pen")
So, kookie, to make it plain to you, who gives a shit what GWB's ratings are? Simple enough for you? Get it now, retard? Get it now for brains?
