Bring back the Draft?
I have long argued that the draft should be a permanent and all should have to serve two years before they are 25. No loopholes and no excuses. The WaPo has an excellent column by Nixon's speechwriter on this issue and explains why we need to bring back the draft.

Figure this last line was a shot at the current cabal?
"Finally, America needs this fund of experience to expand the pool of people likely to find their way into the corridors of power and, when they get there, to bring with them a bone-deep appreciation of the true costs of conflict. Thus might we reduce the risks of counsel from those who have never had to learn the difference between a war and a cakewalk."
