Very interesting. I was in the military, which was pretty much a smorgasbord of the US and not once did I ever hear of anyone burning their time off. Every boss I worked for begged us to take all of our time off.
Midwest here and even in places where using leave is encouraged there are always a few who are proud about never taking sick time when they are sick and always acting like taking a vacation is a necessary evil. A lot of people have bought into the idea that people live to work, not work to live.
Definitely could be a generational thing. As you can imagine the median age of the military is pretty low so everyone I worked with was pretty much 18-35.

It is not as bad as it was a decade ago though.
