One more random thought: Red states, those with higher representation in our armed service, are also those states which have the highest birth rates. Coincidence?

Probably not a coincidence. Families with multiple children have a different mindset.

A little off topic but I have noticed that a lot of female military officers are the only children of military fathers. I don't have any data to back that up, but it seems to hold for academy-trained females, at least. Think about the implications of that.
