Counterpoint?

I would respectfully submit that public schools and government programs (and the bureaucrats who run them) are among the root causes of our current dilemma. That's where true "social conditioning" takes place. The spirit that conquered (really "BAD" word) a continent and put men on the Moon has been villified and denigrated for the last 50 years - to the point that self determination, sacrifice, personal responsibility, and initiative are discouraged in the mindless masses. It's hard to control sheeple when they persist in thinking for themselves. The individuals joining the military - or anything else related to high-risk public service are the exception to the norms.
