You reap what you sow. We have allowed this to happen for more than 60 years.Call it apathy, ignorance,whatever, but we looked the other way when all this started. Like the frog in the warm pot of water, we just put up with it. Now that the pot is boiling and the water is hot--we notice there is a problem. We have no one to blame but ourselves for raising generation after generation of selfish,self centered, me only,me first adolescents, juvenilles, teenagers and youth. Park the kid in front of the TV, let the day care raise them and let the liberal teachers educate them. What do you expect when parents don't parent?  Of course there is no God, no respect for authority, no morales, no helping your fellow man, etc,etc.  How did we get here--go back and look at the past--it didn't happen overnight!  Whycan't liitle Jonny think for himself,solve problems, read and  write teh English language,balance a check book add and subtract,etc because they were being taught social justice,  green peace,being political correct, a world view as seen by socialist,communists and dicators and on and on. Television progams that denigrate, parents, police, religion, morality, rising above the crowd,etc. We have the "Children of The Corn" because we created them.  We are responsible.

The 'prideful malingerers' you mention are exactly the ones that need a 4 year enlistment.  I was one of them once – the military was by far the best decision I’ve ever made.

You see merit used to be given based upon ones ability to accomplish something, such as growing a fruitful garden or canning foods for winter. Now the kind of people that are accomplishing things are not common since type people, but rather technical type people. I think we have completely changed the power structure of the world, and through modern invention, given the power of control to the weak. What happened to the times when strong unwavering soldier stood up and lead communities. Now we have men standing up for only equality for all, and mandating social policies.   I agree with communities standing together and giving respect based upon merit, but I see some flaws in this way of life.
