No.
We need to bring back manhood.
Trump with his manly cabinets and improving military, especially “annihilation” Mattis, will make it again popular to be in the service...Obama purposely had no missionary direction, disarray, social experiments, leading to purposeful low moral. We’ll be fine without the draft. Also, more strategy my great leaders instead of pajama boys will make a difference.

It's already popular to be in the service. All branches are meeting their enlistment and retention goals, and have been now for several years. We don't even need to give bonuses anymore to enlist and retain people, except in a very small handful of highly-skilled rates.

I don't know where people are getting the idea that the military is struggling to attract recruits. We've been turning them away!

Your comment surprised me, and I had a flash of insight.

I wonder if a complete reversal of “social engineering” in the military, and a return to an “Onward, Christian Soldiers” mentality, along with very high standards of morality, honor, and integrity in training would attract far more of the best and brightest of our young men to serve.

As a woman, I have the right to state my opinion on women in the military. We do not belong on the ships, in ground combat, or in air warfare.

We can serve with distinction, as we did in the past, behind the lines. Let men be men, and let women be women. When we are at war, or are training for war, we should not co-mingle, for it distracts us from our responsibilities and goals.

Besides, it will make prolonged war very unattractive to both sexes!

How do we change our culture to accomplish this? We have to speak up, everywhere that we don’t think these social experiments, no matter how well intended, are working, or will ever work. Ever so slowly, we can turn around this idiotic mess that has been created by social justice believers.
