Should American Millennials have Mandatory Military at age 18 to give them motivation to vote?

Maybe a 2 year term of service, probably at the Mexican Border.

Learn much more responsible gun possession.

Be much more interested in the voting process.

In other words, Vetted

    Roughly a tax on 4% of your life time earning potential.

    You first.

    Oh and figure out a way to pay for all those useless mouths, because that is what a large standing army is useless mouths which do not support themselves.

    While you're serving your two years, at what ever age you are, you can came up with a plan how this draft won't have loop holes for rich kids, the way every single other draft has had ways for rich kids to claim bone spurs, chase college girls, or at least crap their pants and pretend to be crazy.

    Yes. Their patriotism is completely fake. I hate to hear someone under 35 say 'Thank you for your service." to a veteran. They have no clue what they are talking about. At least 2 years, and then maybe they would understand what the world is really like.
