Exactly. This morning on NPR, they reported a small town with only 288 population, already has had two soldiers dead, one is in Afghan, and the other is in Iraq. 2 out of 288, a disproportionally high rate of dead US soldiers. Basically, unless they are exceptionally smart and lucky and can get scholarship from universities, the only way for most young people who live in small town in the US to get out the poverty is to join the army, sadly.
