I don't think he's saying that no people from Orange County join the military. His point is that few do. Most people in OC wouldn't consider it; it's a very alien and unusual thing to do.

His article is skewed. Like I stated earlier, some of the biggest drug users, wildest kids, and little criminals in traing were kids from those in the military. Military brats, are some of the worst of the worst.

Care to guess how many people from Orange County I've bumped into over the last decade, to say nothing of other people from Newport Beach? I've met three times more people from South Dakota.

That's funny, I'd almost bet the rent there are more people from South Dakota in So Cal than there are in South Dakota.

Most in Orange County are from places like Colorada, Michigan, NY, Utah, Indiana, Ohio, very few in Orange County are actually from there.

Joe, I was going to make that very point. Growing up, my next door neighbor was from Arkansas, another neighbor and close friend was from Wisconsin, another's parents were from Mexico. And that was just on my street. My best friend's parents were from Chicago. My own mother was born in Oregon, though she moved to California as a young girl, and grew up in Los Angeles. I am fairly rare in that my father was born in California, and I think his also.
