I agree with some of the posts here that all people should have a mandatory 2 year service. Not just men but the women too. Exemptions should be limited to physical only and not "my father is a Senator" or " I am in college".
Did I think this way right out of high school? Not necessisarily. Some may call me a hypocrit but with age comes wisdom.
All citizens should help pay the price of freedom.
I agree that all citizens should serve a mandatory two years but I also think that the mandatory service should be multiple forms of service with military service having the lowest priority. Educating these people and helping their communities is the fastest way to win their hearts! How about builing some roads and wells for running water.
I'm no bleeding heart believe me, I voted twice for Bush and will vote Republican again in 2008 but I real tired of the might makes right policy.

I Joined to avoid the Draft. Seemed like a good reason at the time.All citizens should help pay the price of freedom.
I dunno, its kinda like the inheritance tax, why should I pay when my ancestors already did so I wouldn't have to. I just can’t imagine too many fathers and grandfathers going to war with the intention of there children going to war also. If you fought because it makes a man otta you you went for the wrong reason, if you fought for honor you went for the wrong reason. If you fought to protect your family and those you love then you went for the right reason. I ain't buying any of this other crap others are sellin.

If by these people you mean the Iraqis
You are so very right. We should also help rebuild school, clinics, hospitals, the power grid, power plants, markets, and help to create jobs for the unemployed
oh wait we are.....

How about being proactive rather than reactive? I was actually referring to the other countriesand peoples in distress around the world. I would hope we rebuild Iraq's infastructure we were after all the ones who destroyed it to begin with.

Every able bodied man in this here United States should have mandatory service. At least you'll know how to use a weapon in an emergency. I also AGREE THAT W's kids kids should serve. Every politician who make the decision to send our sons and daughters into harm's way should include their offsprings.I have a throwback mentality, I still think the everyone should do a 2 year ride of military service to help support and make payment on the Price of Freedom.....
But again, thats just this old Army guy talking
Tim
I think a great alternative would be to let those who cant serve perform some comunity service in the fire dept hospital or old peoples home for 2years.
