Let's face it. We've grown lazy. Not just teenagers, not just college students, but the whole stinking country. Fifty years after winning WWII and ten years after winning the Cold War, Americans are getting complacent. People worry more about the number of people left on the Survivor island than they do the number of rogue states in the world.
Baseball players earn millions while soldiers are forced onto food stamps.
This isn't just sad, my friends, it's damned near catastrophic. We're talking fall of Rome here, people. It's time to put up or shut up. Compulsory military service will serve to turn this listless, flabby Athens of ours into a well-oiled Spartan machine. With Fidel Castro still 90 miles off our shore, Khaddafi hiring thugs to hijack planes and cruise ships, and Saddam Hussein insisting he really did win the Gulf War, there's no shortage of potential threats to our national security out there.
