    Incentives for joining the military target lower income communities.

    The military is continually sent into one unpopular conflict after another since at least Vietnam (right around the time the report noticed a drop in white enlistment).

    Legislators pass and / or preserve policies that create barriers preventing non-whites from accumulatimg wealth.

    Hmmm … I wonder if there is a connection.
