Coming Home: Life After War

William commented on The Callie Crossley Show on 05.26.11
In keeping things fair within the veteran, current and future demands upon our society. It would be great if we had a system similar to the European system where, all of Americas youth would have to give two years of service to their country. Mandatory service would help our society to echo what John Kennedy espoused. Helping our country rather than expecting our country to perform services and or aid in compensation to those in need of services. If all were expected to contribute, we would all be better US citizens. Having a conscript, volunteer force encouraged to join our armed services with the concept of monetary compensation, college and other benefits of which no one considers that the consequences of such a decision will or could have an affect, not only on themselves but a burden on their families for many years. Especially if these people are disabled over a long period of time. But having an all inclusive military is the fairest way to share in the burden of war. Maybe then we would, like in Vietnam take going to war more seriously than how war is thought of by our general poplulation now.
