Well that might be a good idea. But what can you do with kids that have these addictions and mental problems that won't cost the taxpayers a fortune? Some of the kids that have passed thru my house over the years have had serious problems. I have taken in two boys that had really bad home issues and thank God now they are fine but had they not been taken in by someone and given love I don't even want to think of what they would be today. I think everyone should serve their county in some way, male or female. I think we should start with the ones who drop out of school and need some guidance that otherwise they will never get. And I am all for illegal Mexicans being the chance to serve this county in return for being a citizen. But the fact is who is going to screen all these people and who is going to pay for all the rehabilitation some will need? I do agree with what you said...Military discipline may be the only thing to save a minority generation. Somebody has to save some of them somehow.

Everyone who earns an honest living serves their country.

You appear to have fallen into the socialist fallacy that only government-directed activities are valid or useful.
