OAO will need to raise about a billion valid points and no blowhard self adressed psuedo intellectual valentines before anything he says becomes slightly less tainted then month old roadkill monkey.

Has anyone looked at how volunteer service plays out against CLASS as opposed to race? Because I think a really shitty job market and really expensive higher education costs drive poor people into the service. I'm not referencing a study here, I'm putting out a hypothesis.

Choice or not, there's ethics here. Suppose we instituted some new protocol where you could get college tuition and a steady job just for submitting to the types of medical experiments currently allowed only on animals. The benefits to society are unquestionable, it'd be purely by choice, but I think ethically it would be kind of nauseating. That's how I feel about a 'volunteer' army during wartime, or most expecially during 'war' time.
