Your posts bring back some mammories, uhm, memories. My antics with motorbikes, ATV's and cars could easily had me dead many times over. Luckily, I joined the USN at 17 and it made a man out of me.

That experience made me consider that conscripts is not all that bad of an idea.

Of course I am not "completely" serious. But when Judges throw out the option of service duty for young felons...I don't have a problem with it.

I have a problem with it. I don't want them in my Air Force. I want trustworthy, concientous, loyal Americans who want to serve for reasons other than to get out of jail or prison.

There is something seriously wrong with our country and with manhood when service in the armed forces is viewed as a punishment instead of a privilege.
