I think there should be a requirement for males to enlist after high school. They should be on Active Duty for two years. That is long enough for Basic, AIT, and a possible deployment. After the two years, they would get 1/2 of their GI Bill benefits. They could receive the full 100% if they re-enlisted for a additional two years (4 total).

I believe that this would offer an opportunity that most people would never consider. The military would give them training that could also help with finding a job on the outside. Some people are not mentally prepared to attend college right after highs school. The military would give them the discipline to complete college and obtain that degree that is so needed in society today.

<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">I think it would be a good idea to make it mandatory in the US for all 18-25 year old citizens to perform 2 years of civil service (military, law enforcement, fire-fighter, etc.) I believe this would be a good idea because it would give their lives some much needed order, purpose, and direction while making our country a better place at the same time. What are your opinions, if any on this?</span>
