All-volunteer military has created a red-state Army in the U.S.

The issue now is not racial integration but cultural separation. If young people from different regions and social backgrounds either enter or steer clear of the armed forces, military service will become, over time, an experience that doesn't ease but exacerbates pre-existing cultural differences. Is the all-volunteer military already having this effect?

I thought this was an interesting article.
It kinda shows the polarization of the country. IMO it lends to the validity of the separation of the classes and cancellation(for lack of a better word.) of the middle class.

"

The residential patterns for current veterans and the patterns of state-level contributions of new recruits to the all-volunteer military have a distinct geographic tilt. And tellingly, the map of military service since 1973 aligns closely with electoral maps distinguishing red from blue states."
I also thought this was kind of an odd "coincidence".

The NWO peeps might like to read it.
