"I would rather have a draft and get some of our Street Gangs employed."

Agree however, I'd add politicians sons. Jeb's son looks pretty healthy don't you think?

No Exemptions?? Fine with me! There are no exemptions if you join the reserves only for ROTC after they have contracted with the Army. My son is going through this now.

He joined the reserves because he wanted, He wanted to complete Enlisted Boot camp. This is not a requirement for ROTC. He wanted to prove to himself that Enlisted Bootcamp was OK. It was, but he was in excellent physical condition.
He returned from Bootcamp and went on a ROTC unit exercise. During the exercise he broke his arm. Hasn't contracted for ROTC yet, but should in the next few weeks. Arm prevented him from being deployed to Iraq. He was pretty upset about not being able to go.He's back in College now.
