Interesting statistic
 

Something I didn't know:

In 1971 approximately 76 members of the House were military veterans.
In 2018 only 18 members of the House are veterans.

In 1971 78 members of the Senate were military veterans.
In 2018 only 19 members of the Senate are veterans.

Gosh, do you suppose that had something to do with the aging of WW II
and Korean War vets, and the 1973 ending of the draft?

money grabbing slackers.

Ending the draft may have had something to do with it. The military
was not as closely connected to the average American and the rise of
people who think like Harry started. He truly believes the military is
just people who were incapable of doing anything else. I wonder if ie
really feels that way about John Kerry or Tammy Duckworth.

There are a few in the military whose choices were limited, but these days the vast majority are bright young people with a strong sense of duty and honor, both of which are seemingly foreign to harry.

Locally a veteran died. Was also officer number 1 for the Pleasanton
police dept. Joe Rose was a WW2 army vet and joined the navy for the
Korean action. Then in 1954 joined the police dept. was a good guy. I
knew him for at least 25 years Met him when he taught a traffic violators
school. I think he liked giving to society. A definition of public
servant.
