Kid's view of military improving - rural kids make better soldiers |
2010-10-20 |
![]() and further down The rural recruits are also a lot easier to train, and generally make better soldiers. The urban recruits often have a bad attitude, as well as a difficult time getting along with others, and following instructions. The urban schools deserve some of the blame for this, while rural schools tend to be far more orderly, and put more emphasis on civic responsibility. No, rural schools have a tendency to hold onto core American values and common decency. City schools are too full of liberal crap to produce kids that are willing to help, work with others and work hard. Read the rest at link, it is quite insightful. |

#1 I submit it has more to do with the home than the school. Even in a rural school, at least in the county seat, there will be townies who display all the "urban values" described. But kids who grow up on a farm have a different life in so many ways. The problem is the family farm is now a luxury expenditure. They can't compete with corporate farms. Even a lot of what pass as "family farms" are really small to medium size businesses with multi-million dollar payrolls. Along with the corresponding demise of hunting, I have often wondered what the end of the family farm will mean for military skills and aptitude, not only in the US. |
