We should really piss off the left and reinstate the draft. And this time with no deferments.
Just for the fun of it.
They would make useless soldiers. But at they could handle a weapon.
Some benefit to the country would occur from getting them familiarized with firearms, and more benefit would come from the other life experiences they would acquire from being in the service.
I think it would make them more responsible than they are now.
Maybe we should institute compulsory militia service as a condition of voting. It wouldn’t have to be too crazy: supply your own basic weapons and equipment, and train with your neighbors one weekend a month. With the popularity of mud runs, “boot camp” fitness classes, MMA, and Call of Duty, I think a lot of people are crying out for it without realizing it.
