[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1137185, member: 498"] I don't know that we need that big of a military. At least not at this point in time. Also the requirements for the military are different now than they use to be. They don't even take high school drop outs anymore. The world is a lot more high tech than it use to be and so is the military. Gone are the days when someone with a lower IQ was just handed a rifle or made into a dish washer. On the other hand I like the idea of having all kids required to join and go through military basic training followed by a required time of service. The required service could include a lot of things other than military. Things like Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, or something similar to the old CCC. I don't see the political will to do this but if they were to do it I think it should be mandatory for everyone. [/QUOTE]
