Instead of an "either an all-volunteer force or a fully conscripted force" model, I propose a both-and solution.

    I will say, bringing back the draft, in full, might make the average citizen a little less bloodthirsty. Easier to be pro war knowing that your kids will be safe at home.

      I've heard this point made before. The Vietnam War may have gone on another decade if it hadn't been for the draft.

      I mean it makes logical sense but we just watched everyone collectively agree it was worth killing our grandmas so they can reopen baskin-robins so I'm not sure iit will.
