Default Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
It seems like there are many countries where every able bodied person is required to serve some amount of time in the armed services. This is not the case in the United States. I wonder how that would affect most USA-ian's perspective if that happened in the States.

Did anyone read Heinlein's Starship Troopers or see the movie? In that fictional story, you couldn't vote unless you served a stint in the military. I wonder how that would work out if it was implemented in the US?
