I respect that. I respect it a whole lot more than the idea of forcing people into the military when there is no national-security need to do so, simply someone's notion of what is "fair" or "this'll be good for those young punks!". :roll:
As someone else said, I'd support 6 or 8 weeks of mandatory militia training (infantry basic) at age 18. That is far less onerous and burdensome, and the "unorganized militia", in the words of the Founders, "consists now of the whole of the people."
Would you support making military service of some kind (or something related to government service) a prerequisite for voting?
