My dd has a friend whose mother is from Isreal. She served in the Air Force and she is one tough mama bear. Beautiful, very confident and very smart I might add. I think we should put all 16-17 year old's in one year of military academy (sorry soccer) ((proper training and education on why America is amazing)), to learn how to shoot a gun, how to talk to your elders and how to respect yourself first, how to love yourself first and how to respect others and how to love others. If you don't like yourself, you will hate others. If you don't respect yourself, you will be disrespectful to others. If you judge yourself to hell unless you say a prayer, then you will also judge others to hell.I believe Isreal does the same thing. Imagine some of the wayward youth, young adults, getting a couple years of discipline, responsibility, and accountability instilled in them…learn a skill…not saying it is the best or perfect way, but it is a way….and if you look at the crime rates per capita we outpace them by a long, long way, in a bad way. Not saying that service is the reason, it’s just interesting to look at.
