What I think is that if we had truly universal conscription with no exceptions we would not have been embroiled in all that conflict. No exceptions means the kids of those elites.

What I think is that if we had truly universal conscription with no exceptions we would not have been embroiled in all that conflict. No exceptions means the kids of those elites. I do not think the freaks now in control should be there but as 44 showed us they can be replaced rather quickly. But I think putting 18 yr olds in a military regimen (discipline) would be beneficial (was for me) and being instructed in some civics by guys with a few battle scars would go far towards offsetting the damage the progressives have wrought in education a lot faster than the rebuilding of it from the ground up....which still would need doing.
I'm sure it was good for my father also. 100% Registering is one thing but exceptions pop up when it comes to serving. My husband did not have to serve in Vietnam because married with child and one on the way and had a younger eligible brother who served point in the jungle. Committed suicide at 26.
I am not sure the current set of 18 yr olds could even make it through boot camp. The military is more likely to be used if it has an unlimited number of expendables on board. Must be some other way to make men out of perpetual infants.
A point there about how much todays kids can take take. In my day even was seeing kids come up against. the word no for maybe the first time in their lives. Very traumatic. But the ones who survived that trauma came out better for it and those who did not were on the path for failure already. Until something better comes along we are stuck with a draft because however much we may not like it we are stuck with requiring a military and do not have much hope for a volunteer one based on available input today without there being in place a solid apparatus to turn the input into soldiers
