		<description>My son was home schooled. Joined the Army last fall. He got a 1450 on his SAT. Graduated top of his class at boot camp.

There are many Home schooler joining the Army. Most are way brighter than the average public high school graduate.

Another hack attack against the USA/Army.

If the reporter wasn&#039;t lazy or just plain dumb,she would have found out how many home schoolers are joining the Army. Home Schooling has increase to a huge pool of students. They are also much more likely to decide to serve their country

But then maybe she just wanted to twist the fact, like see was taught in a Liberal Arts program.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I think the farm economies in the plains have been on a rebound in recent years with the demand for export grains and corn for ethanol. Guess that&#039;s keeping the boys (and girls) on the farm for the time being.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Wouldn&#039;t that affect Wyoming too?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Do they have the information broken down by county or anything? I&#039;d love to play with these numbers and see what pops out.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Someone does, I&#039;m sure.  Maybe Army Public Affairs?

DOD Media Relations: +1 (703) 697-5131
ARMY Public Affairs 703-692-2000 or 703-693-4723</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And what the hell is up with the Dakotas?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Maybe just a statistical anomaly?  There are what, 12 people living there?  It doesn&#039;t take much to move 20 percent from a small number!</description>

		<description>I think we&#039;d really need a finer break down to say it is urban-rural that is the dominant factor.  

And what the hell is up with the Dakotas?  I mean they really stick out as being far more negative than the surrounding states.  Did we declare war on the Dakotas and nobody told me?

*bonus points for those who get the Sam and Max reference*</description>
