to this point, there are a lot of military families on food stamps.
plenty of hillbillys and hoodrats. plenty of bad areas near military bases, too.
but living on base or around base leads to a pretty strong monoculture. you also have a motivated cadre of military spouses -- who are often nurses and teachers -- and who often have to work hard to get jobs at a local school or hospital. you often get qualified teachers and nurses far exceeding the level you'd normally find in the rural areas near bases.
