Nobody thought that through, did they?
Remember the stupid line from the 1960s? "What if they gave a war and nobody came?"
We're about to find out.
In 1975, after Saigon fell, the good troops bailed as fast as they could. The recruits that came in were the dregs of society--criminals, drug abusers, headcases, you name it. We had a hollow military that would've fallen apart in its first real test. Thank God, it wasn't, and then Reagan came along and began rebuilding it.
This time, it's going to fall apart in the middle of a war.
No; it is really sad.
