I think this would be an interesting thing to know, so here's the question:
How many Kossacks have served in the military, and how many of us have grown up as dependents in the military, or married into the military?
All military families sacrifice when a family member enters the military, especially those that have to live on base and move constantly, and have to deal with their loved ones either going off to war or on TDY. I consider all of this "service" to the country, including the children who have to deal with a disruptive childhood because of their parent's service.
So please fill out the poll and share your thoughts.
Note on the poll, I'm not going to include activist or NGO work in this particular poll because things cross reference and will skew the numbers, I'm limiting this poll to government related service and sacrifice.
