What I think a lot of people are missing in this discussion is that we are broke. Funding a conscription army in the field would be impossible. If we slip into a recession this time around, we might just slide into a depression.

I often times think the US is economically where the Soviet Union was in 1989.

If we slip into a recession this time around, we might just slide into a depression. I often times think the US is economically where the Soviet Union was in 1989. The US will eventually default on it's debt. If there is a war and we can just print money, wouldn't it make sense to just print it and win? When the war is over there will be a new economic system. Hopefully we will have a patriot in the White House when that happens, as opposed to someone like Rubio or Cruz that know little about economics and have deep ties to Wall Street.
