It's a fact more whites died than members of any other ethnic group. I can think of a number of possible explanations, the foremost being that perhaps 80% of the armed forces in those eras were white. That's not how I remember it though. I remember being a part of a multicultural group of people, all eager to serve our country. I did not once feel like I was in a majority by being white of skin. (*Although I consider myself of American Indian heritage, the majority of my ancestors were white so I check that box on such questions.)

In my opinion it is quite simply because white is the majority ethnic group.

Can I ask you what prompted this question?

Dumbass question of the year. Did you ever study the racial make-up of the US, Captain. Look around your unit and see what the ratio is. Yes, we may have more minorities serving than before but I can look back on my years of service and remember what it was then. And I'm going back about 40 years.

Join nearly 2 million former and current members of the US military, just like you.
