"Ike" had the right idea...........everyone, EVERYONE, goes into the military right out of high school (or 18 if they drop out), and spends 1 year (or 2 or whatever) in there. Some will choose to stay, and some will choose to leave, but you will always have a standing army. Handicapped individuals would be required to do things as appropriate, and would also be required to serve. Women as well! College after discharge (on your dime), or provided by the military if you commit to remaining in. Make a lot of people grow up, and would probably benefit everyone in one form or another. 2 cents from old "navy2kcoupe", and Proud Vietnam Veteran!
