Everytime an election is coming up, candidates start debating their positions on welfare and other topics. Its become obvious to me that certain issues in our country will never be resolved i.e. welfare. If there is a strategic move made to improve the system, it would effect our position in this world completely. Our military depends on those who have no alternatives BUT to join the military. This would include individuals with inadaquate education and low income backgrounds with the need to provide for their families. We get much of our U.S. Army from this group offering signing bonuses, education, living quarters, meals and clothing, and a good paycheck. When you have four hungry mouths to feed, this can look incredibly attractive! So, whats the incentive to change this? We need a military and we need to maintain super-power status, if the government provides opportunity to the less fortunate, our position, as The United States, could be compromised. So what's the alternative?
