No, "always" being ever since the country was created.

[quote] And yes, 20 somethings are less interested in the military lifestyle and constant war they grew up with. They used to sign up and know there was a CHANCE they’d go to war. I lived the life for 29 years and although the training, friendship, and service are valuable, I totally understand why current young people aren’t interested.[/quote]

It's not the constant war so much as the pointlessness of the wars - fought for stupid reasons, using stupid methods, with no clear plan to win. [b]Which are what our genius national security elite with expensive Ivy degrees has repeatedly gotten us into.[/b][/quote]

Bush went to Yale. Rumsfeld went to Princeton. Trump went to Penn. Josh Hawley went to Stanford. DeSantis went to Harvard.

Elite schools are doing an awesome job educating really unpleasant people

At least the academies teach something useful[/quote]
