"Maybe we should make all the kids go to the military for a few years and then go to college."

That's a great idea - I went straight to college and ended up rather brainwashed for my 20s....... though fortunately I began to get a clue as the big 3-0 loomed. Still, I look back (from my advanced age of 46) and think that my life would have been much more sensible and worthwhile in every way if I'd gone into a branch of the military straight out of high school. I'm not sure about requiring it (don't think we need 8 million new recruits each year anyway), but it should be more widely and loudly recommended.

but it should be more widely and loudly recommended.

I would agree with that. Besides, I like an all volunteer Army. I like having people around that want to be there.
