Yes I have heard of it. In all honesty I myslef once considerd joing the air force.

It is comman in many countries that military time is manditory.
As for me... hmm I do not agree with many things my country does; especially after seeing banded footage from Vietnam, Korea, Iraq and movies like Farenhiet 9/11. I dont agree with this either, but if it were to be put into play, id have to say I would sign up and do my part for the Red White and Blue.

It was mandatory here, but it has been abolished. A professional millitary is so more efficient.

I think mandatory Military service is step backwards and wont achieve anything of great enough signifigance to make it worth while.

Though it might suck a LOT of 18 year old guys need to get away from their mom and dad to get some experience.

I enjoyed the army. Served 12 month up north blowing shit up, shooting with AG-3 and laying/clearing mines.
Sit here today with a blue drivers license for a band wagon and a certificate of military explosives. Not the stuff i need every day but still ;)

Big Bada Boom!

To be honest I would actually nto be that fussed it it was just the guys but the thing Hawk showed us is Males and Females heh -

I mean I know my sister couldnt handle 10 minutes of the army before she hung herself (speculation :p) - I dont really think a girl who wants to be a model or somthing really needs to do 2 years in the service possibly getting fucked up heh -

I dunno, lots of variables but It is pretty gimped if its somthing you dont want to do.

Not likely to pass, though interestingly the sponsor is a democrat.

The US has abandoned conscription due to it lowering the general quality of the armed forces as a whole.

While I think a couple years would do everybody a bit of good, I still think it's a tad daft.

As for the DRAFT, well, if we need it, we need it. That's another situation entirely.

Be it fun or not, if you're not gonna stay in the army its like a total waste of time.

I have btter things to do then run around carrying stuff and/ or shoot things. Like, earning more money in a real job.
