Everyone should be required to serve in the military or a civilian corps for a year or two. Then you can earn the right to vote. Too many nitwits with no vested skin in the game involved with making policy. Put some time in will you fecks?!
As a vet, I disagree. The best equipment (overall), coupled with the best training, works best with a force that is voluntary. conscript based services lose that sense of service, and their most important group - the career NCOs - suffers. Without the mid-tier NCO no branch of our military can function at the level it does.
