What could go wrong.
So you want to bring back the draft? Essentially you are promoting ANTIFA, BLM, and criminal gangs to get combat training.
The current recruiting issue with the Army has more to do with who was president the last 8 years than anything else. As a guy that retired from the National Guard with 4.5 years Active duty in the Army and around 16 in the Guard I don’t agree with you. The military goes through cycles, and a bunch of those kids, especially the ones that were on medication for ADD are going to be fantastic NCO’s. The ones who can’t hack it will be discharged. When I was in post first Gulf War tons of people were discharged because of performance issues, then offers were made for early outs. Anyone that served for 15 years plus recently has seen these issues crop up over time.
Since the Army and Marines both train their members to 2 levels above and 2 levels below their position/rank, the draft will simply fill the E1 through E3 ranks during a national military crisis. Take a E-4 promotable, bump him to buck sergeant, give him 4-5 draftees to train up to be competent riflemen squad members.
The E-5 bumps to E-6 squad leader.
The E-6 bumps to SFC/Gunny Platoon Sergeant
It’s a great system and other than getting rid of the stupid touchy feely EEOC, affirmative action, and 3rd wave feminism (aka cultural marxism) stuff, nothing needs to be changed.
