If there weren't a lot of pro-military material shown to kids, I doubt they'd show up at all. (We have "Seal Team" on TV, but there's never been a "Paving Crew" TV show. There was a heroic teacher show, "Room 222" when I was young; none since.)

They decry minimum wage raises because they might inhibit jobs; they should be concerned with recruiting. One suspects the job isn't luring in the best people.

Many thanks for this. The Florida comparison was very enlightening.

("Company commanders somehow have to fit 297 days of mandatory requirements into 256 available training days")

Lecturer is Dr Leonard Wong, who retired as a Lt Colonel around the year 2000.
