Wow! I am impressed and you have every right to be extremely proud.

Lots more kids out here with real success stories as well.

One of our boys went into the military right out of high school. He has 19 years in service, working on his third degree and his job is to help civilians restructure and make our military a more efficient fighting force.

Cannon fodder. I don't think so.

They don't even have cannons. What tripe.

The average soldier is just that. He's a middle-class white male. This isn't even a real story.

Excellent! There are a lot more jobs in the military that are necessary to support the folks who are actually doing the fighting. Logistics and maintenance are big ones. It's a big team effort to make everything work correctly.
