Thousands of young professional career minded military personnel with famlies, sometimes both parents in the military, are (by your definition) irresponsible, selfish, pass responsibility, and should be humiliated. I think not !!!!!
I spent a career in the military. My wife was a military RN. We have considerable pride in our professions and have never felt "humiliated."
Individuals and families in ALL PROFESSIONS make decisions based on a balance of priorities, ethics and responsibilities. Your choices are right for you but do not apply to all.
