Whatever its equipment, a military is nothing without its people.
As many militaries struggle with recruitment, the armies in Ukraine grow older, and countries in Asia grapple with the implications of ageing populations, it's becoming clear that getting the right people may be as much of a challenge for forces as getting the right technology.

America’s volunteer military is a foundation of our great country. This is why the left wants to transform it.

Ninety-three percent of the American Army of WWII were draftees, and about 61-66% of the entire military was drafted.
