I guess younger generation after WWII were not able to handle tough situations. I have seen different experiences of people who excelled after military life but I guess each person has a different disposition and handles things differently. They should do a survey to see religion, family life, attitudes and political leanings of those who handle things one way or another.

Wow that is condescending!
So it is picking sentences apart and highlighting them in bold. That was a generalization, referred to what we call in the US 'the great generation'.

All that to say that the military isn't for everyone (and you can certainly be too old to join), but for those who join, it can be a good or bad experience.  There is no one thing that happens to everyone.  If it was all bad, nobody would stay for 20+ years (my grandfather was 22 years, my FIL was 23 years and got his Bachelor's and Master's degrees while in).
Exactly, I totally agree, have seen the same and also our family is a military family and maybe that is the difference. It is the type of mindset one goes in. I have witnessed more positives than negatives and joining the military is very encouraged in our family. It is not a light decision and one should go in prepared, and yes expecting freebies is not the right reason to join. One needs be a patriot in the heart.
