The girlscouts who pass for men nowadays would bellyache to no end at first, but a bit of discipline and a few incarcerations to set the example would whip the country back into shape. What if they say they're gay, should gays be allowed in the military?

Of course I think there should be compulsory 2 year service, but they might should sorta seperate them make them do grunt work get them up to e-3 or so if they want to stay in give them better options

Two years of my life given to the Government for whatever they want me for? How on earth can you call yourself a conservative? Doesn't individual liberty mean anything anymore?

Nope -- Congress authorized it, but Peanut Head's stroke of a pen implemented registration. Really, undoing that idiocy is long overdue.

It will provide fodder to the kos crowd.

That's the problem -- he keeps giving it to them.

There already is -- it's called GO OUT AND GET A JOB. The welfare system creates a few loopholes, but those can be fixed.

The lack of discipline in America today comes from the lack of parenting that this country has been displaying of late.

True. It is also causing problems in education (along with the lib's agenda being pushed.)

Do you notice the new recruits being less capable than before?
