I just think it's like the kid who gets a Mercedes for his 16th birthday vs. the kid who works at the pizza joint after school and saves for his beater. My grandfather felt that it was every man's duty to do some level of public service (preferably military) in support of his country.i too see much merit to this program, but no sure i'm on board w/ your position that citizenship cannot be inherited. i may be with you if your belief is that being popped out is insufficient (i.e., parents were non-citizens), as i think that fell out of favor 2 generations into our country's independence from the throne.
I'm not saying citizenship shouldn't be inherited, I just feel that those who earn it through service appreciated it and this country rather than the kid who pops out 14 kids and expects Uncle Sam and God will take care of the bill.
