Whoa! this just jumped out at me. This is a serious problem in a democracy.

I guess that depends on your definition of a Democracy. Our government is a Republic. One definition of a true democracy is a lynch mob acting as one in goals and amibitions..

Democracy is the problem, not the solution. There is very little democracy in the military. This is why discipline, attitude, character, morality is better in the forces. We should be so lucky as our young people could be trained in that manner by their parents. This is one reason our society has suffered since the draft was eliminated. I know the arguments, forced slavery, etc. will be leveled against this but the service made a lot of men out of pretty weak boys. I was one of them and have never regretted my opportunity to see the world and improve my life.
