I have a great idea as I was reading the poster below - how about if people can call into the recruiting station anonymously and have them draft all the unruly kids, punks, bullies, druggies/meth heads, wife beaters, husband beaters, freeloaders, and any other nasty people from ages 14 to 30 (yes 14 because if they are old enough to be running around on their own without their parents supervision then at least they would have some supervision in the army (I know because I was in the army myself). Then they can leave all the decent people alone.
