What’s y’alls thought on compulsory or conscription service for America?
Would it hurt our current military readiness?
What if faced with a no shit modern enemy? Would a draft make the difference?
Do we have the gear in sufficient quantities to defeat a modern standing army with ours being a small all volunteer force?
Is it fair that the often overworked, much exploited, working class are usually the ones that do all the fighting?
Should we give precedent to politicians that have fought for this country? I mean fought not just served, there is a difference. Maybe then we would not have endless wars started by people who have not experienced the consequences of violent actions.
Just some thoughts that may or may not start a decent discussion. There will always be those that wear the American flag for a t shirt, lift their trucks 6 inches and claim “U.S. numba 1” but never served and have no intelligible points to stand on. Then there are those on the other side that feel no matter what the military industrial complex is evil and the pen is always mightier than the sword. Failing to realize the pen is only powerful when men stand ready to do violence on behalf of that pen.
Bored long weekend...lol. Cheers
