Look, to all of those who disagree with me, I feel that you all have valid arguments. However, I also feel that most of you share those points of view because you have no first hand experience. Ask anyone who has served, or at least been through basic training or boot camp. I would be willing to wager that the majority would say that they would do it all over again if they were could go back in time and change their lives.

In my honest opinion, I believe that it is an experience that most would benefit from, whether they felt forced at first or not. Like many of our mothers used to tell us "how do you know that you won't like it until you try it"?

Anyway, I have already expressed my opinion on it, and that view will not change. I will not argue this issue any further. I do not think that the forthcomming administration has the nuts to try and pass this anyway, so why do we even bother ourselves with the concecpt?
