Turk, thanks for your response. I know the Army needs people. they are getting them. From recruitments, and sister services, the Army is getting the numbers it needs.
I oppose the draft because I have had some kids who voluteered and then got themselves into trouble. They were a bear to work with and a bear to get seperated. I would not want to have a bunch of whiners under my watch.
A note to Freepers and lurkers.
the US Army is hiring!
An officer told me once that if a deserter wasn't "too" much of a problem for the community he was hiding out in,then they didn't want to waste their time with the nogood because they were worse than worthless to the military while the War was going and they'd be caught and settled with after the War.
