Hurricane said something I agreed with,
Ronster called everyone who agrees with that a lefty,
So for the purposes of that discussion I was a lefty.
Do you think 18 year olds should be forced to join the army and fight when they don't want to? If you don't, guess what, you're a lefty too.

Case in point lol.  However you pose an interesting question.  I personally believe military service should be compulsory for a minimum of 2 years.  A lot of the issues we see today could be eliminated with some good old fashioned discipline.  With that said, not every volunteer makes a good combat soldier either.  There has to be balance.

I agree with the 2 years compulsory service for young people to get a sence of discipline and a sence of belonging to something greater than themselves. But another factor in the equation is  that a  lot of young people (boys especially) grow up without a father figure so..... Between those 2 factors, no military service and no father figure seems to be a root cause of todays problems in society
