I see your point and believe it is like that now just because it is another tradition that is lost over time, Years ago 40's and 50's and even the 60's I think the military was looked at with more respect than it was until 9/11. It was the thing to do, to follow in the family's footsteps and join a service and this tradition was passed down but like many other traditions in this day and age it has faltered. Perhaps the renewed interest and support in our military after 9/11 will bring it back. I hope so, anything that would benifit and make the US stronger is all right with me.Happy July 4th to all the troops out there. You guys (and gals) rock
