[QUOTE="John6185, post: 3251756, member: 25679"] Since we're not he subject and you asked for my opinion, here goes :>). They need to bring back the draft because then they would have a cross-section of all members of society and out of that mix would come some mighty fine officers and enlisted. At present, we get a lot of people who don't want to work at McDonalds. Moreover, it would give the youth a sense of direction, a skill, teach them to respect authority and follow instructions/rules, provide them with some outstanding training that would last their entire lives as well as some lifelong friends. Most importantly, they would grow up and accept the responsibility given them. It most likely would cut down on crime, child abandonment, welfare and a myriad of other social programs that give to those who don't work. The draft gave us General's Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, Patton, Billy Mitchell, Curtis LeMay Sgt York, Audie Murphy (I know he joined vs drafted) and a host of other good men but suffice it to say had it not been for the draft a lot of good men would not have served their country nor have been noticed-they would perhaps been CEO's of some of our corporations. Disclaimer: You didn't ask for my opinion and I am not responsible. [/QUOTE]
