Puhleeze. I rebelled at 15, so by 18 I had learned to just do what I was told.

Sounds like college must have sucked for you. It was a sex/drug/alcohol feast for me.

The military would be getting "volunteers" my way. They'd be volunteering for carrying a gun instead of picking up deer shit in Yellowstone or scrubbing rocks in Valdez for 3 months.

The military brass disagrees with you.

Life isn't fair. The fact that life isn't fair isn't a reason to create a forced labor program for our youth.
So, were you for this type of program when you were 18? I wasn't and I bet you weren't either.
