6. Conscription with possible deployment does tend to focus the mind. Think about it.

Perhaps you are too young to remember.

But regardless, I am aghast that you think young people bear zero responsibility for informing themselves about that which determines their (and every other person's) future. Have we REALLY come to this? Yes, I am disgusted at the implications of your comment.

Yet, I look at the leadership that came from the horror of Marjorie Stoneman Douglas and other sites of mass school shootings and other major inciting events in this country in recent years and realize that there are MANY of this current two generations who do not think as you suggest. Their leadership is impressive. David Hogg, Maxwell Frost--so many more whose names sadly I can't recall at the time. So, I am hopeful for that alone.
