The question is not whether compulsory military service would be a good or bad for your individual child but whether we should be using the military as an extended high school experience at all. That's not why have/need a military. I don't think that your son should have been forced to serve any more than the military should have been forced to take him. Keep in mind also that the military is funded by the taxpayers, and that compulsory military service would increase it's size and cost exponentially.</blockquote>
