How many 5 star freshmen…

…will the soon to be instituted military draft get?

And when registered legal, american born boys are fighting, how is it we will be letting the ones over the border layabout on welfare cards?

Good questions, bigsky. And it's a very good thing and I am happy that I am way past too old to be recalled.

I just cannot be jumping out of perfectly good airplanes and helicopters anymore. Nope......not gonna happen.

I actually think the Draft will be a good thing. It brings together normal folks from all segements of life and hopefully they will see they are not as dissimilar as they think they are.

I respectfully disagree with the first part of your statement, VirginiaCat. The "ALL VOLUNTEER" services served America with the same effect. Why? Because everyone that signed on the dotted line and raised their hand to swear the Oath WANTED TO BE THERE.
That will not be the case with conscription. And as sissified and dysfunctional as today's younger people are, well, making a lot of them do mandatory military service is a recipe for disaster. JMHO. I admit that I 'could be wrong', but don't think I am. Honestly, I just don't believe that conscription is the answer, nor will it be a good thing for America.
But we may also get to that point just because, so few are actually joining voluntarily now. The most recent numbers for recruiting shows, IIRC, that only the Marine Corps is even close to meeting their recruiting needs.
I just don't see conscription as a good alternative, but if overall recruiting numbers don't improve, there may not be any choice. Again, with as sissified and dysfunctional as a lot of today's youngsters are, the results won't be what we need for the defense of our Republic.
