Me, the *Dean* and foreign policy prof being told by one of my older faculty “you wouldn’t have known this but when Reagan was president…”

Well, if I’m being honest, I’d like to see the bulk of what we spend on the military directed towards social programs and then TfT would be unnecessary. But that’s another discussion.

And what could be more humanizing than to admit that military families are also poor and in need? Missing the forest for the trees here.
comment in response to post
lol no it’s not. That was never the question and not what I said. I said “many.” Was making the point that TfT is a recruiting tool that brings poor people to the military where they ironically will have to use the program. I’m sorry if the subtext was too much.

I was agreeing with your point about poor men fighting rich men’s wars. But if you’ll like some social science on the lives of military families happy to direct you to some sources there.

I was one of those kids. My dad was an enlisted Marine for 24 years. When he was lower in the ranks, life was very tough indeed.

I didn’t say it was exclusively for military kids.

And many of the beneficiaries of the program are…the children of enlisted military members.

Diligently apply the philosophy with Chinese characteristics, maintain an orderly fashion, and present in a punctual manner!
