Young people should
serve in U.S. military
On Sept. 10, Ivan Daubenberger wrote a letter about the young today not being able to do for themselves because their parents do everything for them. I have a solution to this problem.
Each and every new high school graduate should be required to serve two years in a military service. Which branch is their choice. During those two years, they will learn how to do chores like cleaning and laundry, respect for authority (civil law and military), responsibility for themselves and others, manners, how to dress appropriately, how to keep themselves clean and healthy, and many other qualities their parents neglected.
Can you imagine how nice that would be instead of seeing them slouching, dirty-faced, sucking on cigarettes, drugging, and stealing to obtain drugs. And, no, I've never been in the military, but I have a deep respect for those who are currently serving or have served.
