It's the chickens coming home to roost. For decades, "our" ruling class has left America to rot to such a grave extent that it can't even produce people mentally and physically healthy enough to fight wars. It's neoliberalism eating its own tail.
Speaking personally, as a retired NCO, I'm not sure I'd want to be supervising people being induced into signing up from the permanently online segment of Gen Z.
And even those enlistments would be voluntary. Now take all those problems and add the fact that you now have a bunch of pissed off conscripts who were never allowed to say no. That's why the military is against the draft more than anyone. The officer class doesn't want to get fragged again like in Vietnam.
What do you mean there is no where and no one to train draftees? Just train them like regular sign ups. Every branch except the marines is missing their recruitment targets. We have the capacity for them. Yeah we can’t draft like WWII but that doesn’t mean they won’t just start snagging kids to fill in the gaps.

Don't worry, though, I'm sure that an offer of American citizenship will induce plenty of foreign fighters to come sign up!
Because I'm sure that's where this is leading...
Worked for the Romans.
Worked for my family as well.
So you’re saying that service guarantees citizenship? Tell me more.
I'm mentally and physically healthy enough to know I'm not fighting for the dumbasses that populate this country

as if people with actual power in politics care what "the officer class" cares about. LMAO
