[quote=Anonymous][quote]Lets's not bring the Marines into this. Crayons. Enough said.[/quote] The trope that Marines are stupid is extremely stupid. Enough said. [quote]The reason a lot of southerners are in the military is that's where the bases are. It's normalized. A lot of families have members serving. It's less likely in New England or the West Coast, where there are comparatively fewer bases.[/quote] Southerners join the military because it is (or was) highly regarded in southern culture. You're getting it backwards - Southerners don't join the military because the bases are there, the bases are there because Southerners want to be in the military (especially the Army). [quote]Pretty sure California took the most casualties in Iraq/Afghanistan. There's nothing special about southerners.[/quote] Because it's the biggest state, duh. The South was overrepresented in both service members and casualties in WW2, Korea, Vietnam, the GWOT.[/quote]
