> Nope. We serve our country in different ways. If everyone went off and joined the military, sure we'd have a larger military force, however, true after college or after high school occupations would not start to occur until after they got out of the service. Now to people who do not want to serve in the military or are pacifists, this is unfair. If you say that everyone NEEDS to serve in the military or is OBLIGATED to do so, then we've become a COMMUNIST society. And if I'm not mistaken, isn't that one of the reasons our military is around? To STOP communism? Sounds like a really poorly thought out plan to me. But I hold nothing against you.

Ummm... Communism? I don't see the connection, I'm afraid...
