Sunday, September 16th~  Went to a farewell party to a friend headed off to basic training in a couple days. I don't know that there's a specific stereotype for who joins the military, but the people I know who serve are good-hearted, intelligent and reliable. It gives me confidence to have people like that protecting our country. Politics are rarely black and white and public opinion of the military is always shifting. I think shows and movies like "Last Resort" really undermine the public respect of the armed services. If you stop and think about the people you personally know who serve, are they not people who deserve respect and gratitude?
