This is why the Starship Troopers service = citizenship model is a bad idea.

If this was a movie I think Ahmed the Courier would be the real ringleader of Al-Qaida and bin Laden would be in a coma or something. The SEALs bust into the house only to find bin Ladens wives attending him unconcious on his bed. Medical examination and interrogations show that bin Laden has been in a coma for 5 years but papers taken from the house which have operating orders were written in the last month and have what looks like bin Laden's signature... DUN DUN DUN!

That's the direct to video sequel. I've little doubt a modern day triumph of the will is days away from principal photography. Just in time to bolster the election efforts

:lol: Wasnt that an episode of NCIS?

I dunno, other than some skepticism, all I feel is grief for the folks killed in 9/11 and those who lost ppl, as well as all the soldiers we've lost. There's no real "woohoo, we got the bastard" feeling. Kind of a "well, it's done now" feeling instead. I too hope that now maybe we can stop this war and focus on getting our country back in shape. We shall see I guess.

Nope. I'm with you.

Interesting. The earned citizenship model was originally a Roman thing. True their empire only lasted about 3000 years but it was one way of recruiting foreign and domestic troops to their cause. Eventually the hope of citizenship from Rome was replaced by their own generals for rewards of a more meaningful manner, those of estates and wealth...

If service was a requirement, you'd get a wider variety of people in it. Not just the "fuck yeah" types. So I'm not sure I understand the objection.

Or I'll tell you anything to make it stop, because you can't prove it's false.

You would have to change the private sector to meet that same requirement or it would fall into the same trap as government programs like NASA. The best and brightest use to want to work for NASA, not anymore. They all go private sector and make shit tons more money there over NASA. The military wouldn't really gain all that much, people would still rather go private sector unless you made special rules for that. Basically America wouldn't be America anymore if we did it and it would still be just as fucked up.
