In 2018, 56.4% of new recruits were categorized as white. In 2023, that number had fallen to 44%. During that same five-year period, Black recruits have gone from 20% to 24% of the pool, and Hispanic recruits have risen from 17% to 24%, with both groups seeing largely flat recruiting totals but increasing as a percentage of incoming soldiers as white recruiting has fallen.

It sounds as though blacks & Latinos have indeed been comprising a bigger % of the new recruits, but only because the white men's % has been going down, not because any more of them are actually enlisting than in previous years.

IOW, despite everything - all the pandering, hype around a more diverse military, and whatever material benefits they're offering to the 'POCs' who they have determined to be America's future - the US military is still less successful at actually recruiting hoodrats & illegals with no prospects in life than the Western Roman Empire was at recruiting barbarian foederati.
