I recognize Mexican-Americans as the main National/Ethnic group in our Military Forces ( U.S.A. )?

Question

If you are Militar and you don't have a Mexican or mexican American best friend or buddy, then you could not be a real American Patriot. "Semper Fidelis"

Answer 1

Your sense of reality is warped.

Marine Corps demographics:

http://www.usmc-mccs.org/aboutmccs/downloads/pom/DEMO_UPDATE_WEB_FORMAT.pdf#search=%22marine%20corps%20demographics%22

Hispanics (including all those not of Mexican extraction) number 13.2% of the total force.

Army demographics:

Hispanics (including all those not of Mexican extraction) number 10.2% of the total force.

I've deal with far more Puerto Ricans than Mexicans in every one of my unit assignments. And I don't choose my friends on the basis of reverse racial discrimination, unlike the idiotic suggestion you make.

I don't have any Mexican or Mexican-American "best friends" at the moment; if that makes me a "false" American patriot, then try to explain to me how all the time I spent actually fighting in the Middle East isn't accountable simply because your twisted sense of reality says so.

There are no colors in the Army except GREEN. My friends in the Corps say the same thing about the meaninglessness of trying to categorize between Marines. If you want to be in a place where Mexicans are the dominant ethnic group, take yourself to Mexico. In the United States, no matter what your racial background you are an American first, foremost, and always, no less or greater than any another who has the right to be called "citizen".

Obviously you have some reading to do. Start with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Answer 2

Once again the ill-informed quoting information that lacks validation.

Pull the ethnic demographics for each service. The number of Americans of Mexican decent is significant but far from being the majority.

Answer 3

The largest ethnic group in the US military would be Americans of German descent.

There is no such thing as a Mexican-"American."

To clarify, you are either Mexican OR American.

Answer 4

Yeah, all them white guys are fewer in number than the Mexican Americans.

Could you tell us something, anymore chocolate in the box there Forest?

Answer 5

Those that are 3 and 4 generation Have never considered,
themselves anything other then Americans, its only the ignorant
who try to make a distinction.

Answer 6

what do you mean there is no such thing as a mexican american??? I am Mexican American!! And joining the US Army. I don't like saying hispanic, i say Mexican(because i was raised the mexican way by mexican parents)-American(Because i was born and raised in the U.S)

I am Mexican American, and proud of it.

Answer 7

i do no longer help communism and think of democracy is right in each and every occasion. Now, will I invade yet another us of a and rigidity democracy on them...NO! To be honest, i do no longer concern myself with the intricacies of Mexico and maximum different human beings do no longer the two. no longer that that's a "enable them to eat cake" mentality, inspite of the incontrovertible fact that it is not forefront on my record of priorities. yet I do think of Mexico has to handle that's situation of severe poverty. numerous human beings are all worked up over the type of unlawful immigrants from Mexico. I see poverty simply by fact the authentic situation to be tackled as that's the basis of the priority.

Answer 8

Absolutely yes! Most Hispanics or Latinos in the U.S Military are Mexicans.

Answer 9

There are hundreds of Mexicans that aren't even citizens fighting over in Iraq right now too.
