Our volunteer army is stretched to the limit right now. We either have to cut our overseas "commitments" or one day bring back the draft.

Financial and manpower constraints will ensure that the days of empire and "world leadership" will one day end. Hopefully, it will be in time to return to the kind of republic the Founders envisioned.

There's a third possibility that would work two ways: Curtail welfare for the able-bodied.
