Good luck with all that nonsense.

have you served?

Yes, I served Army 66-69. What difference does that make. The Navy has parked 5 ships due to staffing shortages. The border needs to be sealed and right of away maintained. The third Joice would allow those who don't want to carry a weapon to still serve their country

They would need to change the physical fitness requirements first. Then an extended and rigorous boot camp would be needed.

Would it not be better to focus on logic, ethics and those areas of education pertaining to creative problem-solving. Then they could solve the world's issues with new ways, instead of resorting to enforcing old patterns because of a lack of ideas, not infringe other people's freedoms and spell healthy correctly, no?

then you would know the laws and how dangerous it is to change them.

Do not need a draft. What we really need is a basic outdoors and military pre-basic training in 6th grade and 11th grade in high school. Nothing too crazy, just basic survival skills, fishing, hiking, self defense skills and Situational Awareness. Nothing too extreme, but enough to teach self discipline and survival tactics. This may encourage more kids to join the military since they would be able to learn about it earlier. But it would teach our kods some sort of real-world problem solving and skills. They've removed all out door skills completely.

As they sat at a far-flung outpost 1500 miles from Rome drinking local wines from lead-lined mugs.

So nearly 3% of the population, according to the Dingus falls between 18 and 21. How do we pay for such a force that may contain upwards of 9 million draftees?

Well, it might work as 8 out of 10 of that fat-assed sector can't do a pull-up or run a mile. Maybe the washouts go to school and learn a trade or make progress in science and techno....oh wait, that's unaffordable to all but a few.

So in a nutshell you are saying remaining status quo is the way to go?


An army of dumb muffin tops never solved anything. There's bigger fish to fry than filling plus-sized matching uniforms and marching them off to prepare for war or clean the park after Earth Day.

Draft won't change the fact that a higher percentage of people than ever are incapable of performing basic soldiering.

[Bizman]

What do you need basic soldiering for? When was the last time that was needed on US ground?
