Most of the young people currently in military service are “Millenials.” My oldest daughter was in the Coast Guard for nine years. My second daughter recently completed Marine Corps boot camp.

I’m not going to try to determine what the respondents meant by their responses. This sort of thing is junk “research,” anyway.

CONGRATS! But as I said to cyclotic, that was largely as a result of YOUR efforts in their upbringing. You did the right thing. Most parents today do not. Trust me, my experience in this is wide ranging. I have been a social studies teacher in the public education classroom for these last thirty years. Split between middle schools in the suburbs and high schools in the inner city. I'm in the 4th largest school district in the nation, Miami Dade County, FL. Read my FR home page. I retire at the end of school this Friday and I'm moving with my wife of 30 years to eastern Tennessee. I have seen this trend developing for the last 15 years.
