Surely the solution then is conscription for black & minority males & females (50% of each) with a moratorium on Caucasians until the ratio exactly matches that of the national ethnic makeup.......?

It's not possible to make people join otherwise. The armed forces today bend over backwards to make themselves inclusive - ethnicity, sexual orientation, TG, it's open to all, we're even on Stonewall's list of gay friendly employers, but there's only so much we can do without resorting to compulsion (BTW I was only jesting in the first para......)

ShotOne: T**v Ed***ds was flying Jags from around 1990 - in his case he'd joined he Regt but not finished the JROC due to losing most of his toes as the instructors had made him stand in a flooded trench for so long to try & break him rather than have 'a n****r in the RAF Regt'. He couldn't continue in his chosen branch & the RAF offered him his choice to make up for the brutal fashion in which he'd been treated - he chose pilot, & a nicer chap you couldn't hope to meet. Hard to believe thant kind of stuff went on but I guess its legacy is one of the reasons why the numbers are so low.

There was H***y J***son on C130s too, so a few about although not many.
