It's obvious Andy hasn't checked the pay scales and opportunities that the modern Military offers. I figured out for the grandson of my sister in law...what he would have to make to be competitive with paygrade E-3 and I think it was in the 15-20 dollar an hour range...and that didn't take into a account a noncontributory retirement account.... However, that being said our country lost something when it did away with the draft......it was a melting pot that the rich needed as well as the poor. Sure worked wonders for me....

While I think A.R. is an out-dated wind-bag, I too see some advantage in having the draft, namely, it would help some young fatherless males learn to be men in a time when far too many males have no masculine role models.
