America needs young people who are fit and willing to serve -- how can we inspire more of them?

In this month that we mark America’s birthday and the creation, 45 years ago, of the all-volunteer military, it is a good time to consider how we can benefit by having more Americans answer the call to serve.

A strong Republic requires active participants who give their time and talent to “provide for the common defense [and] promote the general welfare.” Throughout our history, we’ve been blessed to have citizens who serve – in uniformed professions, volunteer situations, and life-long vocations. They’ve been inspired by leaders like George Washington who raised an army, and Jack Kennedy who elevated the hopes of a generation. Martin Luther King called millions to the cause of civil rights; and after the Vietnam War, veterans advocates taught us to honor those who serve in our military.

Assure the little darlings they will never be criticized, yelled at, or punished for anything they do; assure them superior ranking personnel will never tell them what do, they will be asked; have a "snowflake room" on every command and ship where they can go when things get too tough; and a hot line to their mommies and daddies so they can call and cry. That will make them enlist.
