The draft is not the answer. I enlisted in 1973 and I had draftee's in my basic and AIT units. They had deferments from college but had graduated and owed Uncle Sam 2 years. Nothing worse than a group of people who didn't want to be there. Here is a better answer to boost the military. Make it worthwhile to be in the military. It's not for everyone, but make it so desirable that everyone wants to be there. Increase the pay, revert back to the retirement that I have....50% after 20 years. Not like todays retirement. Tweek the medical for retirees to insure that they and their family are covered at 100%. Make it so tempting for a person to enlist that the military can pick and choose the best applicants. I know, it's a dream. And there are those of you out there that would be against such a thing. That's cool. You do you boo. The best years of my life were the 20 years I spent in the Army. In the Infantry. And deployed. My only regreat that I didn't stay for 30. |
