Reply #111: So, these look like the choices for someone with over six months

of college left under your proposal:

1) Drop out of college, and join the military (or some other indentured servitude) for two years as cannon fodder.

2) Stay in college, go to ROTC, and hope that after you graduate, the military lets you go after two years, and investing a bunch of money in your training.

Of course, if I've misunderstood you, and you really want the college student to serve for four or more years for the military to recoup its investment, then we're really talking about playing with peoples' lives for some sort of misguided strategy.

During WWII, we needed six week wonders. I guess I just don't see any wars we're either in now, preparing to fight, or have recently been in as having the importance of defeating Nazi Germany and/or Imperial Japan.
