Considering the recent downturn of the U.S. economy and the change in Command in Chief, do you feel that there will be a resurgence of recruitment of people of color and women into the military service. If so, how will the shape the future construct of the military in terms of leadership and opportunity.

      I think that the tremendous drop in the recruitment of minorities, especially blacks, over the past several years was due to a strong mistrust in the past administration to act in the best interest of the military and the nation.

      President Obama has convinced the nation otherwise and he has a great deal of trust and respect among the black population and the nation as a whole. As such I think that blacks and other minorities will began re-entering the service in numbers typical of the pre-war years.

      I also feel that the economy will also have a great effect on recruitment as the military is a solid career opportunity.

      This will no doubt have a positive effect on both the military and the nation as we are all apart of the same team.

      I think the near future will see a decline as Americans in general try to understand and realize wht has happened these last few years. I think that the POTUS and his service/duty to country first will reignite the pride and patiotism and we will be a force once again.
