Barf. I HATE the idea of mandatory military duty. **** that.

Well, I did my time, so I don't have a problem with them requiring
it... All in all, as much as I bitched about it at the time, I would
have to say that it definitely builds character... Then again, as we
used to say, "A happy sailor is a bitching sailor"...

My problem with requiring military service is that when people talk
about mandatory service, they talk about mandatory enlisted service. I
have a HUGE problem with being forced to enlist.

And although I think I'm too old for the draft now, if they started
drafting women, I'd be in OCS so fast my current employer wouldn't know
what hit them. THAT'S how I really feel about mandatory military service.
