I think a lot of young folks would benefit by gaining the perspective of serving their country for two years instead of just getting the liberal indoctrination in the schools.

Is it just me or does this amount to...

"To keep kids from indoctination we'll indoctrinate them."

Granted, there's the military issues. Been there, done that at Camp Pendleton. True enough.

But there's also the perspective they'd gain of the real world where people get killed & etc. before they hear from some hippie at college how bad the military is and how peaceful the rest of the world is.

Right now all they hear and experience is one side and one view. Is this balanced? Maybe not. Is it better? I think so.

I just heard pretty much the same from my step daughter when she came to visit last week, that Bush was going to reinstate the draft. I asked her where in the hell she heard that, "just some friends from school". No doubt they heard it from their professors. A few years back when she had just started attending in North Carolina, 1st thing she calls us up in a panic to tell us that Pell Grants are to be discontinued by order of President Bush. She was positive it was true, as ALL of her teachers were telling her this

This is the same school that, the following year, all freshman were required to take a semester studying Islam. I didn't get this from her, I got it from the news. She doesn't go there anymore.
