Thanks, John, for sharing. As I learned in 3 plus decades of military service--Discipline is the bedrock of most well-meaning human behavior. Strongly believe our USA needs conscription service (e.g., military, educational, health, religious, et.al.,) to help instill/infuse the discipline that today is sorely lacking in most young adults. Further, I contend this lack of selfless service to our country is the root cause of the "lost boys" and young people in general. For evidence, just observe & study the exceptional success of Israel as a country, where mandatory military service (32 months for men, 24 months for women) is required.

Agree! While the intent was good, the unintended consequences have been devastating.
