Uh . . I think I agree with you there.

Actually, not only that, the officer corps would likely have a different face, the experience with different people might bring the youts back with a more tolerant and respectful attitude toward other citizens, and people who served would have a greater sense of ownership in the country, rather than entitlement. I think Blue Streak is a good example of that. I'm sure there are others here who have had that experience, but I recall Dave recounting how the time in the service affected him.
