We can't overlook the long-standing economic pressures. The Army is the only way for people starting with little-to-nothing to build up generational wealth. If you want a college degree without crushing debt, or a job without a college degree, it's the only reliable employer, and the only place where you can earn a pension.
That's definitely one of the reasons a draft is not needed. Not the only reason, but one of them.
The issue is that this administration is petulant, nihilistic, narcissistic, and spiteful. Just straight evil. If they could take PoCs, LGBTQIAs, and non-Christians and forcefully throw them into a violent meat grinder war they absolutely would.
oh, I totally agree... I just don't think they'd want to arm us. I think they'd rather put us in camps, like the camps Robert F Kennedy Jr. incessantly promoted in his campaign.
