I've been saying that for years. I have been to countries that have a conscript program that requires a minimum period of service for all high school grads. It would do our kids good to learn some self-discipline and leadership training. Maybe if Obama would have had some leadership training/experience, he would not have been such a failure. Of course, I am glad he did not succeed in converting us entirely to his socialist Utopia. He still has not learned that "leading from behind" is really the definition for "FOLLOWING."
