We have discussed this Civilian-Military divide at least twice up here previously. Latest research (2014? 2015?) from the Hoover Institute suggests that it is more imagined than real. I'll find the link & put it up here. FWIW, the study i will post up here is the FIRST comprehensive study since the late 50's early 60's

Sgt Wayne Wood that will be great, thanks for sharing. Interesting that a grant can be given to understand that incompetent people don't realize it, but not a cultural divide (real or imagined).

And as I have said the last time this article appeared. It depends on where you live, my area respects veterans and has activities honoring them on a regular basis. But, this is a solid conservative part of the country.

MCPO Roger Collins I find it sad that respect for those willing to serve is dependent upon something as random as conservative or liberal leanings of the locals.

It's more than that, our respect for the military and veterans is just part of the culture. Patriotism, education, and freedoms are part and parcel of our beliefs. PC is barely making inroads here. The other situation regarding respect for the Vets has to do with how many of them there are and how they are perceived by the local communities, without regard to political leanings. I have lived in military towns and towns, as now, that has fewer of them merely because of how small we are. Military towns are far more likely to have negative opinions from my observations. JMHO
