“These guys need a break.”

I don’t disagree. But IMO, drafting unwilling people into the ranks of our mutually beloved young pros is not a good answer. Your son, I’d bet, would wind up spending much more time and energy managing/training/disciplining such 10%-ers/do-nothings, as we did in the 60s.

I know you are right. I just get tired of the disrespectful and clueless.

Hello Pentagon Leatherneck:

We had a draftee in our platoon in ‘66 and he did fine. He said he was initially shocked that he wound up in the USMC at SDRC - he thought he’d skate as a cook in the Army ( Ha! Ha! Surprise!) - but he adjusted.
