Hey, let's enslave everybody for two years. Serves em right! You are thinking inside an old box. I'm not hung up on the time frame...not even sure it is important. 6 months is sufficient for me. That will give them a stake in the system and way of life...but offer them incentives to stay longer. Perhaps that is where funded college comes in. Many draftees under our old system ended up enlisting for longer periods so they could select their military occupation specialty training, branch and/or unit of assignment. Remember the only Democratic country that has not been a significant participant in a war for the last coupla hundred years is also the only one with mandatory military training. That country is Switzerland. Their soldiers even take their rifles home after completing training.
