Having been drafted myself, I support the idea of citizen soldiers. The mentality is “okay, we’re here, so let’s get the job done and go home.” Historically it has proven effective.
And those currently serving voluntarily are not citizen soldiers??
While in the Pentagon years ago, I read an internal survey regarding why people enlist.
A majority of males enlist because of a sense of duty, to serve their country.
A majority of women enlist for the education benefits and travel.
