Don't expect Canada to accept anyone. Different times, different administrations.

I'm in favor of universal service (not necessarily military) under certain criteria.

1. No deferments.
2. Minimum of 2.5 years.
3. The ability to eliminate from service those who fail to adapt, refuse to try, or are otherwise unsuitable to service with an appropriate discharge, one that carries a consequence for those who are slackers or quitters.
4. Expansion of the Armed Forces to deal with the influx, and no change to the pay structure, so as to encourage voluntary enlistments and the continuation of a core professional military.

Having led troops in the final years of the Carter Administration and seen some of the final dregs of draftees, I have no interest in placing that same situation on the shoulders of the NCOs and Officers of todays' force.
