During our Monday meeting at my civilian job today, we were sharing statistics on random subjects and this was definitely a jaw-dropping one, especially to one of our C-level execs that is a psychologist.

SPC Miguel C. - I wonder if there are similar stats for previous generations, like post Vietnam and WWII.
