I'd be interested to hear what countries out there do have a mandatory minimum term. I know there are at least a couple in Europe that do. But I'd agree with Vol. There are some people that I do not want fighting for my country.
Not only would we get to knock some sense into some pussy ass hippies, but we'd get to bitch slap some emotionally repressed nationalist motherfuckers as well.
I believe in America. I think we look pretty stupid right now, but that's just perception. I don't think it's the reality. With everybody serving in uniform, we would show our True Colors.
The hippies would grow a backbone and the war-mongers would learn discretion.
Some people aren't cut out for the military, beit zealousness or wimpyness. But if there was a mandatory minimum, I think people overall would seek to serve in the way they know best. And I think that would be good for America.
ps- educational funds would be a great incentive for service.
