"But it’s the children that you notice the most -- along with the sad realization that while most of them are thrilled to play sailor or marine for a day – few of them will ever enlist. You see young kids crawling all over helicopters they will never fly, and landing craft they will never sail, running up the gangplanks of ships they never serve on, trying on uniforms they will never wear.
Not because they won’t have the opportunity to join the armed forces but because, in all likelihood, they will choose NOT to do so."
