We're already talking about requiring illegal immigrants to learn English, pay fines, and return to their home countries to earn legal status. Why not, some say, raise the stakes and require men and women between 18 and 42 to serve a couple of years in the military to earn something even more precious: U.S. citizenship for themselves and their children?

A soldier is a highly trained specialist. In todays wars, there can be no such thing as cannon fodder. Unless one wants to lose.
