RE: Major exaggeration on Sixty Minutes - German prison system as a valid template for the US to try to emulate
There is a line of thought that US should still have compulsory military service, including men and women. For one year maybe? Two years maybe?
Would make the leaders in Washington think harder about sending troops into new wars, if they were voting on sending their own sons and daughters into harms way.
And there all the side benefits of integrated service. All classes, all social groups, everyone getting at least 16 weeks of serious discipline before they are deemed to be "an adult"
I don't think the USA could even institute a draft anymore. I like Trump but I would flee to Canada. War is hell and we have 10 times the military we need to unleash total hell and destroy the entire world.
If everyone that threatened to flee to Canada if xxxx happened actually did, it would be a better place in the US. LOL
Actually I might not even have to bother to flee. Our prisons are already full. Ignoring jury summons is illegal but I think most people do it along with drugs, speeding etc etc. We could all probably be serving lifetime prison sentences if our laws were all fully enforced.
