Chances are, many Marines would not have obtained these values from the public schools and broken families they came from.

Agree. The public schools are so bad that the Marines probably need to incorporate financial literacy and other basic life skills into their training. Our so called educational system is a farce. The Marines will find it challenging to undo the 12 year indoctrination process that many recruits have been subjected to. Unfortunately, those with some college probably have the same deficiencies and social baggage when they enter boot camp.

And yes, thank God (and Trump) that this is not Obama's military anymore.

I was in the Navy.
