The notion that it is particularly honorable to offer yourself to the discretion of the state is baffling to me. How is serving our community through trade less honorable and less beneficial to society in preserving rights and freedoms and having prosperity? The answer is--it is not less; in fact, the more that is under the discretion of the state, the less those freedoms are preserved and the less prosperity society will enjoy. The truth is--the public has a grave misconception about what it means to serve; probably because it is enforced by both sides of the political spectrum. I implore anyone who thinks the mentioned proposals of mandatory service are wise and good to try to change his or her perspective. I in no way mean to disparage the sacrifice of the military personnel and their disillusionment is of no small concern to me; but, the truth must be told. Tricia.
