I have always felt that there were a lot of young people who could benefit positively from a stint in the military.
Not everyone, but many.
With that said, I must qualify...I do not believe in the draft, unless we are at war and must do so. I don’t believe people should be forced to, even though I believe there are some who SHOULD be forced...:)
I think the military has really benefitted recruitment-wise from the ongoing Baraqqi Depression.
It’s one of the only job venues available.
