I'm reading more and more stories like this, of kids/young adults doing "love-of-country/troops" things that their older sibs would retch over.
It almost makes this cranky old sergeant think twice on how less irredeemable today's youth might be...
...until I watch the news...
Just keep in mind how much of the news can be trusted! LOL!!
Actually, it's not as hopeless as we may think. Majority of the time the media only focuses on the errant youth but there are still so many of them that are on the right track. At least 3 close friends of one of my nephews are in the Military proudly serving their country. Other friends of my nieces and nephews are doing volunteer work for their communities. All is well.
