This has been the best Veterans’ Day I’ve had in a long time. This morning I heard that the military, which needs about 100,000 recruits a year to cover losses and exits, is not making that goal. The pool from which they draw is about 20,000,000 people – probably another million more if you count people who aren’t citizens – so a 100,000 is less than 5%. But, it seems, that not even 5% of young people want to fight America’s imaginary enemies. It is another sign that our young people are better than us.

Happy Veterans’ Day indeed.
