How could I be wrong when I included that?
I don’t see this military working out, and every year it will get worse as it becomes smaller, and more and more female, and a place for families and single moms to find high paying, secure careers and retirement in their 30s and early 40s.
How many here would not want to return to the warrior class of the old military, when it was single men and hard living, and low pay, at least for the lower ranks.
College campuses today are populated by majority females, the military will become the same, as the men continue to not show up, continue to not enlist, once that snow ball starts rolling (as it has), then it feeds itself at an ever increasing rate.
The military is in the process of becoming just another high paid federal job with great benefits.
So - in the absence of suitable male volunteers, your plan is to just throw in the towel? Just hand the keys over to al Qaeda or Russia and enjoy our new role?
Sorry, no: the answer is to throw out the current leadership, get quality volunteers, train them, equip them, and support them. I’d you don’t like bill, move someplace safer. Canada was popular for evaders a few years ago.
Service is not a quick way for a cushy retirement. It’s tough work, 24/7 with many chances of dying early or being crippled. You think it’s easy, sign up, Big Guy.
