re: #172 Dark_Falcon

Oh, you’d like that. That would increase casualties greatly. We left the draft behind for a very good reason, and as a result we have much more effective army.

We also left ourselves with an Army that’s slowly being stressed to the breaking point. Even with the increase in ranks, we’re seeing men spending a year or more at a time in that sandbox, special forces have seen their number increase and yet are being redeployed practically overnight because they’re in such high demand.

Meanwhile, jihadis can grab a kid off the street, slap an AK-47 into his arms or a bomb on his chest, and throw him at our soldiers. Their investment? The cost of materials, no training necessary.
