I would like to see your second part based on the budgets and education of rural vs. urban Americans, with a substantial amount of time analyzing the enlisted military aspects and the prospects of actually getting to college (not getting ‘in’, but getting through the gauntlet without a family member who has experience with it and with “career counselors” who would rather be anywhere else).

Find Joe Bageant’s book, “Deer Hunting with Jesus” and read the essay about Lyndie England.
