Very interesting! CJ, is this the way you want to proceed? Israel is a Nation roughly the size of the State of New Jersey. All of their females and males, must serve in the Israeli Military, males for 2 years and females for 1 year. This responsibility runs from age 18 to 45. You must stay qualified in your own field. Every one must serve in some way. There are no college deferments or “daddy covering your tail”, this is not a draft, if you screw up, you pay the piper.

Amen to that, I would feel a lot better if I was able to carry a sidearm on me when I was in uniform. This fort hood shooting would never have happened if we were all armed on post.
