I used to feel strongly in support of this.
I’d also argue that having everyone in the military means you don’t have people in Washington (from ivy lesgue schools) sending 18 year olds from West Virginia and Kentucky to their death.
However, economically, it is probably terribly inefficient to do it. It’s the equivalent of forcing everyone to be a farmer for 2 years in case they need to farm in the future. We would never do that because our economy grows through specialization and productivity increases.
That being said, if we could address the economic inefficiency aspect of it, it’s not the worst idea. Not sure how the righties feel though about increasing the size of government and mandates :)
