It seems to me that 2 years service could be in fields other than the military. There are community needs, forestry needs, medical needs, and the list goes on. It also seems to me that 2 years may give some people time to realize how important higher education is. Along with that would also come a higher work ethic, not to mention a sense of belonging to a larger community, namely the USA. I may be biased because I was drafted during the Vietnam Era and I value what I learned in the Army highly. I doubt that I would be the person I am without that experience.
