What do we do if not enough of them volunteer though? What if we get into a situation where we need 200,000 more soldiers?
As far as Greek Life taking a hit, in my scenario, everybody would do something else before starting college, so everybody would be starting at age 20. Colleges, Universities and Greek Life would all take a hit for two years while it was being implemented, until the whole freshman class was at least 20. I think we'd be ok if we knew it was short term!
I do think the logistics of it would be so very complicated to implement and I don't really see it ever happening. But, I still think it's a good concept.
Someone earlier said that the people supporting it were all old enough to not have to do it. Some of us though, have kids who would have to do it. I'd be ok with my child living a little real life between college and high school. I would rather have them do that, figure out who they are, what they want out of life than to have them rattle around at a college for 5 or 6 years because they couldn't decide on a major. Being in college was like being in some alternate world reality with very little responsibility compared to what comes later. I just think getting a glimpse of the real world is a good idea, before you decide what you want to do in it.
