Anti-Crime Measures

Let’s reinstate the draft. I believe that if the draft had not been eliminated we would not see the problem with gangs and gang violence that we see today. Yes, there will always be an element of gangs as there always has been--but not the enormity that we see now.

The military would teach young men and women responsibility, self-discipline, self-worth and possibly a vocation. College is not the answer for everyone, but we all need to learn to function in a somewhat civilized society. Youth need to learn to live honest and productive lives.
