#2 I think the KOS Kids need to be drafted, along with all the idiots at DU, trained as Army grunts, and sent to Afghanistan - for the duration. Add any others that seem to be light-years away from a clue, such as Sean Penn, Rosie O'Dipstick, Nancy Peelooseli, and Edward ("the VIII") Kennedy. I'm sure that will expand their view of the situation quite significantly. I doubt Kennedy or Pelosi could make it through basic, but what the heck - you really don't need basic or AIT to be cannon fodder, now do you?

#3 Now OP why would you want to do that to our good officers and NCOs. If it is one thing we learned from the reforms that finally got into gear in the 80s, its far better to have fewer men [and women] who are motivated for the unit than stick in three or four malcontents who eat up the NCOs' time and effort better spent on training and people who want to be there. The only thing that works for those type of people is exactly what was done to the Crown loyalist who were encouraged to seek homesteads among the more friendlier parts of the Empire after American independence.

#4 If serving, I CERTAINLY wouldn't want one of those weaseling cowards behind me with a weapon. Better to leave them unarmed and home
