i don’t count getting rid of the draft as an unalloyed Good Thing
(snip)
it was as if people making the decisions in government and the soldiers belonged to two completely different classes

The older I get, the worse the all volunteer military looks. There needs, a believe, to be a draft with out deferments or exemptions. Everyone does their two years because then everyone, rich & poor, senator’s daughter & maid’s son has an equal investment in their nation and it’s future.
