That, good sir, is why we had very different experiences. I gather by the length of your service/contract and the chosen word "flew" that you were an officer yes? If so, those first few years were dedicated to you earning your wings. Depending on what kind of 130 it was, you MAY have been on fire support missions if it was an AC variant, but if not you were probably shuttling troops/equipment back and forth to the combat zone or doing fuel runs.

None of that changes the fact that 48% of 11Bs are minorities.

And again, per our convo in the comments below, being a minority does not auto-equate to being liberal. Plenty of minority conservatives out there, particularly in the latino demographic.
