Send Our Stupid to the Army

Ok, for those of you offended by the title - I suggest you stop reading now and continue on with your day. For those of you who laughed or were intrigued by the title - please continue.

Here's my theory - those who fail academically in high school leave that atmosphere to become store stockers, Mickey D burger flippers, or bums. Meanwhile their intelligent counterparts are still busy really working hard for a living - going to college and still holding one (or more!) of those menial jobs to pay for it all...by "it all" I mean their lives. Those who don't do well generally stay at home as long as possible and suck their friends and loved ones dry with their lack of ambition.

So here's my idea: Anyone who is making below a 2.0 GPA at graduation is mandatorily signed into the army for four years.

Now here's the part to chew on:

1. Four years in the army accounts for housing, food, clothing, and education. Those who were about to swindle their way through mom and dad's money just got a "free" ride.

2. The intelligent are needed here at home - to study and help our country advance. You don't send the geeky chessplayer into the football field - you send the burly jock. Same here - you don't put one of your most valuable assets in the line of fire - unless they choose to be there of course.

3. The army requires quite a bit of brain numbing and washing to get these men to be "brave". They have to condition you - and who learns better from constant conditioning and survelance than those who don't know what else to do?

4. This leaves the menial jobs for those people trying to pay their way through school - for those who didn't live under this mandation - for those who have lost their high-dollar jobs during the recession, and many many more who deserve it more.

5. And last but not least - this improves the strength of our military from the onset - growth is power.

Now - I can't answer all of your questions. This to me just seemed like a way to strengthen our interior. If you don't like it - great! Ide love to hear what you have to say - same if you love it!
