I remember in the '70s it was common practice in some places for many young adults in trouble with the law for petty nonviolent crimes to be given the option of enlisting in the service in exchange for charges being dropped.

I don't think this is done anymore. Teenagers make dumb decisions and get in trouble before they have grown up, but now we can't wait to give them a criminal record that haunts them the rest of their lives when all some of them need is some discipline, structure, and a chance to mature some.

When you have leaders or leadership that is to cowardly themselves to enlist or use excuses such and bone spurs to avoid enlisting, then why would the common man or woman want to serve...especially if serving under cowards who would not serve themselves? They now see other easier paths to leadership.

New Congress will have a few more veterans, but their share of lawmakers is still near a record low
The new House will have 80 members who’ve served in the military, or 18.4% of members. That’s up from 75, or 17.2%, in the 117th Congress.
