1. Public school supporters would contend that the nation requires a literate population who have some training in civicsNo
No
and
joining the military is a choice
2. To my knowledge, Texas is the only "red" (Republican) state that doesn't receive more federal tax revenue than in contributes. Oddly enough, despite the conservative rhetoric "bad mouthing" the federal government, none of these states are too proud to send these annual surpluses.
3. Joining the military "as a matter of choice" lasts only as long as their are enough "warm bodies" to fill the quotas. When America has been involved in major wars (Civil War, WW1,WW2, Vietnam) requiring the mobilization of the military for the defense of the nation, conscription has been employeed.
While all those things might make for interesting discussion, the current point at hand is the U.S. president declaring by fiat, that one entity is now responsible for paying for insurance to benefit another entity. In addition, he has now declared that a company must provide free products to others upon demand and no one has noticed because it has been obscured by broad discussions of birth control and religious beliefs.
