    I read a line somewhere, that went along the lines of "Never write or pass a law that you're not willing to die for." Goes a bit futher than "not wlling to enforce". Think about how simple our lives would be if legislators followed this.

    Should humans be asked to demonstrate their ability to kill for their country, before they chose to die for it?

    I would totally command one of the aircraft carriers if they'd just allow filthy expats to serve. I'd rename it the "airport express" and send everyone packing.

    I'm feeling a bit cynical so the first thing I though upon seeing the headline was, what's the sign up offer?

    If they offered a free flat for everyone that completed a, say four years tour of duty, I'm sure they can easily get more than 50% of the interviewees to sign up.
