But why is anyone upset? When we did awy with the Draft, we hired a professional Army. We pay these guys and gals to die and suffer and be glorified for doing so. Why pay attention to those who have been injured on the job?
We should have mandatory, universal service. Everyone should serve, not just to be fair but to share responsibility.
Think of the opportunities for service and the effect of knowing that OUR kids were in service. A Teacher Corps might revolutionize education not just be droppi9ng the labor costs (conscripts are cheaper then Union members) but be raising awareness of the crappy conditions in many of the schools these soldiers who serve in.
Imagine the good it would do to the polity if American Peace Corps kids safety depended on the support the receive while distributing AIDS drugs in the Congo!
And howsa about them illegals? You snuck in? Now you wanna be a citizen? Kool ..sign up here for your two years in Baghdad!
The image was taken at Fort Lewis. Seems to be a soldier, a boy in drag? Don't ask and I won't tell!
