making it mandatory that children between the ages of 18-45 of all in the Senate, Congress, and Executive branch are immediately drafted into the military in a time of war. This way if they vote to take such action they do so knowing their children are sent first. Might add a little weight to their decision. Also would be interesting to see who would run for office then. I think it would put the "public service" back into politics. Accountability is a bad word to these folks right now.
