[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just crossed Virginia Tech off our list after a visit on a beautiful sunny day. DD did not like the feel with all the big gray buildings. No tour available so we went around on our own. The provided maps were wholly inadequate for navigating around and construction made some buildings inaccessible. Military drills and large numbers of kids in uniform was a turnoff. The buildings we did go in seemed dingy and run down. Residential side was slightly better but not enough to change her feeling. She couldn’t see herself going to Virginia Tech. [/quote]

It's important for spoiled young adults to be completely unaware that the military exists, so they can continue to allow other people to make sacrifices to protect them without any sense of responsibility or gratitude.  [/quote]

Rather than focusing on gratitude, how about we take a hard look at US empire building and the endless wars that have resulted from abuse of the all-volunteer armed forces, mostly by civilian leadership who have never served?[/quote]
