Thiebear Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Pick one, any one.... How would you change the Military Right Now so that in 9 months it will be either the same or better Open the Draft and Open the Bases Closed. Open the Draft and No Bases Open Enlistment and Adds and Open the Bases Open Enlistment and Adds and no Bases Stay the course and tweak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiebear Posted May 12, 2004 Author Share Posted May 12, 2004 I would Open Enlistment and Open some of the Bases Closed that are still available.... And put up a sign that says "Please don't close me the next time you smell peace". It's only temporary! OH and if at all possible: Please try and put forth some restraint on the whole "Its Bush, No its Clinton, No its Bush1, No its Cheney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every 18yo should have to serve his country for two years and then be given the choice to leave the service or continue on. One this will help build respect in tomorrow’s American and help the country in a big way. I know this would a large increase in budget but think of the payoff in for the country and the character of tomorrow’s American……… We need to put Red White & Blue back into the way we think…………………..Not sure if this could happen in 9 months but we need to make a move like this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayouBrave86 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 WTF is this, I didn't even recognize this post until after I put up my topic. As for Ravens777, real easy for you to just offer up 18 year olds making it MANDATORY for them to serve 2 years, with you being 39 and all, did you serve any time in the military? and if so were you mandated by the government to do so??:finger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SkinsHokie Fan Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 In Switzerland once you graduate from HS you have to serve 2 years. Pakistan makes you serve 1 year afterwards. I do not think it would be a bad idea, I would have actually enjoyed it and learning some of the stuff that my buddies who are in the army know now. Oops but I will. I am looking forward to my career a lot these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouBrave86 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 And Russia I believe makes you enlist for 2 years of service..but we aren't Russia, Pakistan, or Switzerland. Hell I'd do it for Switzerland though, aren't they neutral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiebear Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 I spent 11yrs and I wasnt Drafted. I would bet my next 3 paychecks. If the Military put forth the ad campain to enlist and they took most all comers... We would be at 1 million again within the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Probably not enough room in the Federal budget for more corps. Mini nukes launched from unmanned aircraft or cruise missiles might get rid of the bad guys at for less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
