X3 Once a Vet always a Vet. IMO . I think that every young boy and girl after High School should spend mandatory at least two years in the service of their choice. It not only would allow a time of maturity but give them a understanding of this countries history ( that most are lacking ), it would teach them disciplin, team work self sacrifice and weapons training and their education would be free afterwards. There is a big difference between people that go through the military and those that go straight into college. They fear what they don't understand.
