interesting indeed. however im for a mandatory draft for those that drop out of highschool for reasons other than supporting a family or disease. i know a lot of drop outs that just sit around and do absolutely nothing but soak up our tax dollars for their needs.
2 years of service equal to a four year degree...shakey on this one right now.
the rest sounds good to me if it were optional. like another poster wrote, it fringes the constitution.
Drop-outs have lousy work ehtics that surely won't improve in the armed forces. I don't care for a large number of lazy soldiers fighting alonside real volunteer patriots.
