I think the last draftee left service in October of 2014, but you ignored my post and make the current drill sergeants seem incapable of shaping young men.

I don’t think most of us today consider the average male/female GI individual as tougher and harder than the male counterpart of WWII or Korea, or Vietnam.

Agreed. The sad part is that combat requires the same qualities it always had, but our politicians (including those wearing uniforms) have forgotten that.
