In schools today the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance is under fire and students now have an "opt out" to prevent the compulsory oration of this oath to God and Country.

Many more school districts than not, are no longer teaching a patriotic view of American History as we were taught in school to promote love of country as well as historical instruction.

I'm not sure what this all bodes for our future, but it's something else to think about in regards to the idea of reinstating compulsory military service in this country.
