wb,
My friends and acquaintances and I grew up in an era where reporting to our Draft Boards at least once annually was mandatory. These were not pleasant experiences BUT clearly showed EVERY one of us where we stood in Society. I elected service as a U. S. Army Officer; the decade that followed wasn't pleasant for me, but at least I held a Swagger-Stick. In the midst of my service the Military Draft vanished into smoke.
I've watched the hundred of Trump loyalists storm the Capitol, and read enough for a lifetime from them over the recent years; the "tough guys" had a far different demeanor when they served in my Platoons and Companies: They GROVELED and SWEATED like MOST of their fellow Servicemen during their Basic Training; once past that the became the HARD ASS 'Proud Boys' and 'Oath Keepers' - - - I MAINTAIN that terminating the Military Draft, instead of even expanding it, has had SO MUCH to do with the 'UNRULY- OF-TODAY!
Am I making sense, or am I on a WRONG PATH?
