This is interesting, but I imagine that we would see a similar trend in the U.S. Relative to population, how many soldiers get recruited from NYC, L.A., New Hampshire, and DC versus places like Alabama, West Virginia, Arkansas, and Kentucky. Of the recruits that do come from urban areas, I bet most are poor and/or visible minorities. The military tends to recruit heavily in poorer areas.
