We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Historically, military service has been a family tradition in a lot of American households.
You know who wasn't left with a good feeling about the military? A shitload of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, who's kids would normally would be a large chunk of the current crop of recruits.
Do you think that maybe their parent's bitterness and anger about their time in the military, or treatment afterwards, might have affected their kid's decision to enlist?
