Global economy - cheap labor...

Remember how Doctors in Russia aren't paid much more than mechanics.

Remember that episode of Frasier, where the younger brother confronts the plumber only to find out they drive the same car...

Mandatory service - doesn't teach diplomacy - doesn't lend itself to forgiveness or understanding...It puts those who might be disposed to peaceful resolution - in service of someone against their will..whose policies they must follow for whatever philosophical and/or theological agenda...

But hey, China's doing it...who's going to turn down that bleach blanket party...

hmm?
