cash78mere-i don't think we'll have a draft any time soon. but i do think that many students join ROTC and the army to help pay for college...NOT with the intentions that they will ever become real soldiers. many will be in for a rude awakening unfortunately.

I have to agree with you on this! Also, a young man I know got in trouble for drugs about 2 years ago. It wasn't his first offense and it was more than grass. Rather than go to jail (he had just graduated HS and this would mean, NO EDUCATION) he chose to go ARMY. I am glad this option was open so he could have a clean record and still earn a degree, but I wonder how he feels NOW, knowing the gravity of the choice he made.
