I agree.
Interestingly, I was in Korea a couple of weeks ago. Military service there is still mandatory (mostly). Where as the people on this board are proud of their service, it is no badge of honor for Koreans(under 50) to have served. Whenever the discussion turned to N. Korea and recent events, all the young people talked of ways to get out of service.
It makes me wonder what kind of mind set our Army would have if mandatory service were reinstated.
One bad apple can cause a lot of problems.
