There’s something to be said for that. Everyone having to serve their country in some form or another and learn discipline would help restore the character of the nation. Which can only translate to good news from an electoral standpoint. The military doesn’t vote Democrat.
There’s lots of ways to serve. Not all of them involve a gun.
Ala Heinlein, no draft. All volunteers.
But no vote unless you serve at SOMETHING.
THAT would restore the Nations character.
