These “people” are truly deranged. This is what happens as secular, non-judgementalism grows in a society. We need to bring back mandatory military service for all young men and women in the USA. I think our survival as a nation is in the balance. The end of the Baby Boomer generation, of which I am smack in the middle, cannot come soon enough.

Actually, bringing back Christianity (the old-time "knuckle-dragging/homophobic" stuff, not the new, touchy-feely, liberal/socialist kind) would go a long way toward repairing this society. And I say this as someone who's not particularly religious.

I say the same thing myself some times. God that's sad.

Sorry, Bro, but you are wrong on this one.
Ask any active-duty personnel and they will tell you a draft is very bad idea.
They only want someone next to them and behind them who WANTS to be there.
Re-instate the draft, and you really will see a charlie-foxtrot of the first order.
The draft was the over-riding issue during Viet Nam.
We do not need another one.
We have enough to deal with now.
