So true, well said.

Personally I'm not real hip on the draft.. but I've always wondered if we wouldn't be better off with like a mandatory 2 year term or so, even if it wasn't to serve in the "army" per se, but 2 years of public service or the like ? i'm not positive it's a good idea, but when I think about what they refer to, when they call them the "greatest generation" These folks did everything they could to 'join up' during WWII, some folks who were 4-f ? is it ? committed suicide because they COULDN'T join. A very different generation to say the least.
