That is not the purpose of the Army.
The Army is there to protect and defend the nation and its interests abroad, not to carry out social engineering.
That not what he is saying, he is trying to say (in more correct terms) all the suburban white kids who are able to deal with college bills themselves(i was one myself) who never in there right minds would want to go fight in a war, hell never even fire a gun, would be in the armed forces as well... instead all levels of the social scale would be represented.
I still dont think thats an adequate reason. I like it the way it is now, there if we need it, but Im not going to Iraq anytime soon (im fine with the status quo)
