I know a lot of younger vets. Some are good hard working people others not so much. If you listen to them talk about their service you can pretty much tell how fast they were promoted and just how much trouble they had been in. The last 10 years I was in the military had become a social welfare program. Kid turned 18, mom stopped getting extra money from them so their only option was to join up. Some expected to sit on their backsides and collect a check and others used it to pull themselves out of the ghetto. It was really hit and miss. Of the kids we got in I'd say as a guess that 70% were welfare babies. 25% were looking for college money and 5% were there because they wanted to be soldiers. With the poor kids about 50% turned out pretty good after a couple of years. Most of the college bound ones were OK and about 50% of the GI Joe's were not worth spit. I graduated in 73. I can take a look back at my class and come up with about the same numbers. There are a fair number still around who have never done anything. I really don't think anything has change except WE are now the old guys complaining about the kids!
