US troops are disproportionately middle class. Full article is on scidb if you wanna read the whole thing. But here is the important part:

We show that recent recruits tend to have higher than average socioeconomic background: they dispro- portionally come from the middle of the family income, family wealth, and cognitive skill distributions, with both tails under-represented

Also they are not doing this to distract from Epstein. The rich got away with that, we have not taken out any of them in retaliation. We're not even protecting kids from troops at Ft Brag. We don't care enough to stop them, they can do whatever they want until we hit our breaking point. Just shitty to know that pedos running concentration camps for kids is not our breaking point
