Yes I'm aware of that. Lets say that in the constitution it required for every citizen to serve 4 years. I get the whole land of the free and all that. I'm just saying that with the type of people that come out of the military, America would be in a much better place. There's to much anti military people when most assume if you sign on the dotted line that it's a given that you're going to hold a gun and kill civilians in foreign country's. Also if 4 years was required our government wouldn't be so -blam!-ed. Most have never served, including pretty much- if not all- of our recent presidents. Sending men to war, debating military issues, and cutting military benefits etc...when you've never served is asinine; which is exactly what our senate and congress is doing despite most of them having never served.
