The solution is to have trained reserve troops that no longer pay federal income taxes as a reward for one weekend a month and 1 week a year.
I agree. I think there is great utilitarian value in a robust, well-trained and supplied reserve component. If properly utilized, then can be cost-effective. They do have a reserve component now, but it’s very modest in size. Very.
I think a compromise. They can deduct the equivalent salary for their time as reservists.
