A solid chunk of the fighting force in Vietnam were volunteers and even with the draft like 2:3 in favor of volunteers. The us military still targets minority and impoverished communities to this day but that doesn’t change the fact that the actions performed are against the global proletariat and going to kill brown people on the other side of the planet to pay for college is a pretty shit excuse
When there's a draft the concept of "volunteering" becomes shaky. If the alternative to "volunteering" is to be drafted into something worse or similar, how voluntary is it really then?
