Re: Obama's Chief of Staff Promoting Mandatory Defense Training

When I was in the Army, I served in Germany where the men had a 2yr compulsory obligation. Guess what, they looked at it with pride and a sense of duty to country. Every German man I knew felt that way (I married a German, lived on the economy ...) It's not a bad thing.

Thats what I was refering to as well. Hell, in Israel it's (2 years) mandatory for women too.

I'm not sure we should look to the Germans as role models in this area.
