Our country as a whole woefully underutilizes our military. It was the Army Corps of Engineers after all that built the roads and bridges which laid the foundation for America's breakneck growth in the 19th century.

We should reinstate the draft. Not everybody has to fight, but everyone should serve their country. And, for example, perhaps a few years doing cyber defense for the Air Force will be seen as a more efficient pipeline into tech jobs than college or coding boot camps.
