Military Update: Black Army recruits down 41 percent since 2000
The article mentions that it's more difficult to track Marines, and it doesn't mention the Air Force or the Navy. I imagine Navy recruiting may be a bit easier, since as far as I know, the Axii of Evil and/or Terror aren't known as naval powers.

Why would you have a problem with the reason people aren't volunteering is that they don't support the war? I can see being bugged by "in actual danger rather than just getting money for college and training."
