Should military service be a requirement of citizenship?

I BELIEVE THE DRAFT SHOULD BE REINSTATED.  IT WILL WAKE UP THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND TEACH THEM RESPONSIBILITY AND HOW TO PROPERLY CONDUCT THEMSELVES. 

I would have to say NO!  I used to believe everyone should do 2 years of military after high school, but the reality is three are 3.3 million kids graduating high school this year (http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=372) and if they did a 2 year stint, that's a military force of 6.6 million on top of the 1.5 million that want to be there.  Congress is complaining now about the size of the military - we can't afford for it to become 5 times larger.

Now to answer your question . . .  NBC News says 700,000 immigrants become citizens each year.  Same problem as above - if you toss in 1,400,000 immigrants (2 years stint) who are not citizens into the military, they cannot do many of the jobs.  Just ask Filipinos what options they get - nothing that exposes them to classified material.  And now you're going to add 1.4 million people with no security clearances?  We'll have 1.4 million janitors, cooks, and runway sweepers.  

Oh, and how many of those immigrants are fluent in English so they can understand instructions?  We had a LT from India and when the SHTF, he was not speaking English - don't know WTF it was, but it wasn't English (it got him relieved and discharged, though).  Same problem would happen - last thing I want is some guy yelling at me and I don't know if he's warning me about a grenade or pissed at me for a log book entry.
