Wonder if they are including the down sized Military in those numbers?

You read my mind (post #15)

Look how that was addressed in the LA Times yesterday:

Special Report U.S. military and civilians are increasingly divided

“At Stanford University, Kaitlyn Benitez-Strine, a 21-year-old senior, was scribbling notes in the back row of her modern Japanese history class recently, listening as her professor cataloged the misdeeds of the American military in occupied postwar Japan.

“People became increasingly resentful of the U.S. military presence,” the professor said. “There were crimes by U.S. Army personnel — rapes and murders.”

A good indication of why younger members of our society feel the way they do about America.
