In an interview; Barney Frank suggested we bring all the troops home and employ their use similar to the old WPA to build or rebuild public works or other projects.

We have a volunteer Military of those young people who have enlisted to FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY NOT DO CONSTRUCTION WORK.

There are times related to military actions/needs where it is necessary some of their duties may be far afield of combat even in our own country BUT if labor is wanted it would be insulting to force our fighting men/women into positions they had not volunteered for.

I see what you're saying, but if they were sent to do labor, there's a chance they might actually do something useful unlike what they're doing now in Iraq for example, which is downright detrimental and a monstrous waste of money.
