How will this Army of volunteer reservists fight, if we ever have to face a brutal and locally superior army?

Say a repeat of June 1950 in Korea?

Germany 1976. We had a buck sergeant who would pimp other soldiers for his wife. He would then hide in the closet and watch and listen as his co-workers had a romp with her. Court martial and a discharge. We also had some serious problems with protitution with the female soldiers.

The unit suffered for years after. The core problem was simply poor leadership! One commander was relieved along with the first sergeant. That started to trun the trend around, but as I said, the unit suffered for years.
