According to a survey by the National Priorities Project, the South leads in military volunteers. The regional breakdown shows that active duty recruits per 1,000 youth is 1.81 in the South; 1.01 in the Northeast; 1.33 in the Midwest and the West has 1.44. That translates into 23% more recruits from the South than the rest of the country. Not surprising as we are patriotic.
