I still don't get your point. What does my post have to do with military brats?
I was a military brat, and I didn't lack for time with my dad, so I don't know what she's talking about either. My husband, also a military kid, would say the same thing. We both have loving and close relationships with our fathers.

My Father did 3 tours in Viet Nam so many a years, I didn't see him or barely saw him.
Danial Moynahan told us about 60 years ago. It's only gotten worse.
When you lower standards society suffers.
Correct.

The Negro Family: The Case For National Action, commonly known as the Moynihan Report, was a 1965 report on black poverty in the United States written by Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
The report concluded that the high rate of families headed by single mothers would greatly hinder progress of blacks toward economic and political equality.
And yet, we've had two presidents in my lifetime who were raised by single mothers.
The exception is not the rule. Obama attended exclusive rich private schools in Hawaii and was living in India growing up.
Kids need both parents if you want to increase the chance of their success.

Being a single parent poses challenges to a parent’s resources to provide for a child. The costs of childcare and household expenses are borne alone by the parent, which can put a strain on a single parent’s finances.
In my experience, the military has a robust support network for those families with a deployed parent.
Yes.......and heck of effort to keep the family from turning into a disaster such as when I lived at Clark AFB as a MACV Brat.
So-o, for the crisis of the subject of this thread........do we need something like that?
