Few Hispanics support Bush’s war
Tagged: Pew Hispanic
As eventually happened with Vietnam, U.S. military involvement in Iraq is pulling Hispanics in two directions. Maybe three.
Numbers tell some of the story. The latest Pew Hispanic Center poll found less than a quarter of Latinos (24 percent) support U.S. troop participation. That’s down from 31 percent in 2006 and 39 percent in 2004.
Department of Defense figures show that Hispanics comprise 10.9 percent of those serving in the armed forces, well below their percentage in the eligible age group in the three decades of the volunteer army.”*
