I know we could all go on and on but I see a problem with no military draft. We used to have men who at least would serve for 2 years and that short time gave them some pride, discipline and perhaps a sense of belonging to a group bigger than they were. It also made America a country where most people had some sense of firearms usage. Now only a small percentage of men join the service and those poor guys go into combat zones 4-5 times or more simply because there isn't anybody else to go. I am not forgetting about the women and I think the military would be great for many of them as well. We have young men simply going nowhere but playing computer games, drinking and using drugs in many areas. I know there are millions of young men and women who work hard, bring home a paycheck, put themselves through college and become great citizens. Unfortunately there just isn't enough of them when compared to the ones we are all paying for.
