Not only is our rapidly expanding federal government burying our current and next generatioin of youth in mountains of debt, but it is additionally lobbying to cut two to four years of taxable work out of their payback equation.  Check out the conclusion of this article in the Christian Science Monitor:

David Chu, the Pentagon's undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, says meeting higher recruiting goals would require a basic shift in the way the nation views the military. He says he bristles when discussions in Washington about encouraging Americans to participate in national service programs omit the military.

"Few of those attempts, and fewer of those legislative proposals, ever mention the military," he says. If the country were to reverse that stand, "there won't be serious recruiting issues."
