[ACC24070]

Whether people in the military are respected I suspect mostly depends on whether the community or family has a tradition of having its members in it. Speaking for my own backgrounds, Latino and American Indian people highly respect, even revere, the military. Every male member of my family has served, going back to at least WWI. The small town and rural whites I grew up around in the South, especially working class ones, also think well of the military. I have heard the usual stereotypes about servicemen being ‘young, dumb, and full of crap’ or being unable to get a job anywhere else, but that always seems to come from more well-off people who never had to worry about money.
