True, this was directed internally at the audience Mattis was speaking to. Newsweak doing their usual perfidious technique.

As for those who say everyone should serve in order to be an "involved US citizen" I say balderdash considering why our nation was founded in the first place (Passive obedience which goes out the window under the UCMJ), however I do believe the last two years of high school should include militia type training as a requirement for graduation.
