Robert Mcnamara is howling in Hell, one big reason being Plan 100,000. The Military will never go back to a draft, day be coming an E-1 graduates basic with no student loan debt and 75k starting salary. Young fatties be dying to join…
No prob.
America’s military footprint is massively excessive and a net negative for the world, and has been for a very long time. If obesity, crime etc. mean we have to cut back on the size of our military, that’s a good thing, not a bad one.
(Not that I think our health and crime problems are good, but this would definitely be a good side effect).
LOL.
