If you want to achieve these quotas, you will have to implement compulsory service or expedite the release of serving white males. But you can't have compulsory service for some but not others for obvious reasons.
Believe me, there has been no shortage of programs and initiatives aimed at recruiting these target audiences. Check out the recruiting home page.

I think it is quite apparent who they are targeting.
But the truth of the matter is, the monster problem is the retention of all, including women and minorities. This is the real issue and one the highers up do not seem to want to address. For whatever reason, they feel it is preferable to recruit new people than to retain experienced personnel. You can have an entire discussion on why people leave the military. There are as many reasons as there are people leaving.
All that to say that it isn't as easy to just state we will have 25% women or XX% visible minorities and it will happen.
