African Americans in the United States are opposing the war in the Gulf and are claiming that 30% of the military force in the war are Black Americans despite the fact the United States population only consist of 7% African Americans. Although, Black Americans have filed Conscience Objector claims, they are not being heard and they are forced to participate in the war.
