A big problem is the military is all lower class conservatives have got. So they put it on a pedestal to psych themselves into believing their kids are doing something special. God forbid sending their kids to college and giving them a real career. Can't do that, so send them off to get shot at and feel better about it because they just saved the freedom of every American.
