I used to think the same thing then the Air Force started a program that allowed 2 year enlistees. By and far they were the most troublesome troops in ths shop. The first 2 years in the military are an adjustment period and very few people truly enjoy them. The 2 year guys know they are going to get out so they usually put forth minimal effort.
I don't say it's a good idea because i think it's a good idea for the military, I say it because i think it's a good idea for the nation's youth. It's a great place to grow up a bit. The military builds character. Where are most young people growing up now? Mac Donald's?
