This is about the fact that indigenous people make up a disproportionate amount of the military population
But when talking to people in general, how do you open dialogue with not just indigenous, but also black and Latino/Chicano veterans and younger people trying to join? A lot of people are lured in by poverty, others are looking for discipline or they have strict families who try to force/impose it.
Is there any advice on having these conversations? I believe it's important to be respectful and mature about it, to not go on lecturing and complaining.
This seems like an interesting topic to pay attention to. I'll be poking my head in to see what people say a few times over the day
