    I’m located in the Northeast, and the lineage of “Military families” is exceedingly rare here. Most people I know joined up for economic reasons, and tested well enough to be in operational, engineering, and medical roles rather than any infantry.

      A friend of mine joined as a right wing conservative (the whole Christian soldier kind of thing) and came out of the military pretty left. Then in the last few years he started slipping down the Joe Rogan slide and has been moving more right again.
