Three Military Reforms for the 21st Century

A NY Times Op-Ed on further reforms SecDef Gates and President Obama should make to the military. Here are the three proposals in short:

1) Get rid of the air force by incorporating it into other branches of the military
2) Get rid of the "up or out" system, where servicemen are either promoted or kicked out
3) Mandate national service (military or civilian) for all Americans starting at age 18

Sound good to me. What do you guys think?
