I’m a Jr ROTC instructor at a Texas High School. I’ve seen a lot of young men step up. I have hope, if only with this corner of the world.
I think that outside of large cities there is still a lot of patriotism and normalcy. My two step granddaughters (live with me) are in a public high school where tradition prevails to this day (but there is 20 - 30% loony bin even here).
