Ironically, this was true in the white community when I was growing up. Going into the military was considered a “foolish idea” until Reagan got in office. One goy in my social group coming out of HS went into the Navy and his parents had to make excuses for him.

I can't tell you how much flack I've gotten from my grad school classmates for seeking to join the Army. Most of them think it's a waste of my degree - "You could get sent to Iraq!!!"
