I agree...and they will just as soon
as the Democrats are in Power...

It was the Democrats that started the
first Draft...and are wanting to re start it...

Yes, It will once again make our military an honored tradition it once was. Everybody can spend at least 18 months of their life in the service of the greatest country in existence.

"There is nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer" ---- James Doolittle. He was exactly right. Morale can be in the tank as it is with volunteers who dont want to be there, now add 10's of thousands others who feel the same way.

no way!
no one should be forced to serve in the military if they dont want to.
from past wars we have seen the downside to having guys serve who didnt really want to be there.
thats what makes the u.s. military great.
you have people serving who want to. even some of those who want to and have there heart in the right place soon learn that the military is not for everybody. besides if everybody joined it wouldent be special.

No. Look at how many Americans actively engage in avoiding jury duty. They are not motivated to serve their country for a period of years.
As for web sites. use you search engine.

The military is not for everyone the same way college is not for everyone..

I would not want someone watching my back who was forced to do so.

Yes. They used to be so required. It was called "the draft."

[robert r]

yes. I think every adult male between the ages of 18 and 25 should serve a minimum of 2 years in the military.

i think for kids to learn respect and all that good stuff that they teach you in there. really i think the question should be should we have to go thru basic and boot camp. although its not for everyone. im split on this question. yes and no
