I almost think we should be like Israel, where most everyone is required to commit to a 2 year enlistment... its an unpopular opinion, and I'm even somewhat mixed about it.
But it sure doesnt seem like a bad idea.
All of the 20 something flag burners would sure receive a different outlook when they see the incredible camaraderie and diversity within our armed forces... people from literally ALL over the world, some that hardly speak English, all on the same side and fighting for each other.
The diversity within our military was maybe the biggest takeaway I had from the experience, every single nationality and walk of life seemed to be represented... "how can we ever be beaten with so many life experiences/intelligences onboard?", that was honestly one of my first thoughts.
Our military covers the human spectrum.
