I don't know if mandatory service is a good idea. I am not much of a fan of the government mandating anything. What I am in favor of is letting anyone who wants to serve, serve. Those of you who had less than perfect eyesight, fallen arches, or like me, metal pins in my joints (I too fought to make the weight and was then denied because of my history of leg surgeries). Those who volunteer to serve should be given the opportunity to do so. We may not be suitable for front line infantry, but we can and should still be allowed to serve.
