According to most studies the DoD has done, the main factor is that we are involved in a state of war. People are less inclined to sign up for the job training and the college money if they aren't as sure they'll survive to reap the benefits.
Other factors are a small increase in the number of stories reporting discrimination in the military, the fact that tours of duty are being extended frequently, and that recruitment overall is down dramatically, so it would follow that minority enlistment would be down as well.

Point was, though, that non-minority enlistment wasn't down nearly as much as minority enlistment.
