<p>Quote for the article:</p>
<p>“The likelihood that an influential person such as a parent, grandparent, or teacher would recommend military service as of September had dropped to its lowest point since 2003 the year the Iraq war started, according to a Pentagon study.”</p>
<p>Initially my sarcasm kicked in with a “Did they really need a Pentagon Study to determine that?” </p>
<p>Then my “make a lemon into lemonade” mindset kicked in. With a son intending to make a career in the military, the laws of supply and demand dictate that, if fewer people want to serve, his services should be in greater demand. Higher pay, bigger re-enlistment bonuses, and so on.</p>
<p>Maybe our kids will all be military millionaires some day!</p>
