Vuk, not everybody has a childhood like yours. I don't want to sound disrespectful toward your father, so I won't say how your childhood comes across when posted like that. I believe children should be allowed to be children, and forced military training most certainly does not come into that. I was in the Army Cadets for two years and enjoyed it. Had I been forced into it, I have no doubt I would have rebelled against it. As for the tax analogy, children in America pay taxes?

As others have mentioned, your get out of all military conflicts, whilst building up the military comes across as bizarre.
