Well... the way I see it... anything mandatory by the government is probably something you really don't want a part of.
But... how about giving kids, 18 year olds, another option than enlisting into military service? You know, all those C-average kids and those kids whose parents cannot afford a college tuition... how 'bout giving them some of those benefits that are offered to military voluenteers. Sure, not as much as the military, because those kids are going to face hostile forces. Maybe, assistance with college tuitions after their voluenteer service.

Not for nothing but the money the military members is not free money. I mean it is a hell of an investment but at least when I was in I paid 100 a month and served for 4 years to get the college money I have. A little more then 100 hours then other people were talking about

Can you give me a bit more info. What type of program was this? Who ran the program? What state are you in? What did you get out of it? Was it a good idea?

It was the GI bill, it has changed since I was in. Just do a google search of that and it will tell you everything you need to know.

The GI Bill is, in my opinion, probably one of the best pieces of American legislation. It was a gigantic step in repaying the service that American soldiers gave to our nation.
