Too many poor kids in the country, military is the only way out for alot of them. Good point.
Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.

Under Trump the National Guard was majority white men. They couldn't even be trusted for inauguration duty without being vetted..
Under Biden, who knows? Maybe there will be a shift to "pronouns of color"??

I don’t think there will be any problems finding new recruits for Biden and the Democrats troop build ups in the Middle East.

Under Biden they will probably pay for a kids whole collage if they join. Under the G.I. Bill , it's there, full or partial depending on your status.

I have been criticized by several on this forum for believing that a draft of some type, military, Americore, Conservation camp etc. etc. would be a good thing for us at it would bring some order, discipline, training etc. to all. As with the draft in the past there would be obvious ways to circumvent etc. but to me it would still be a better choice for government spending then assistance, etc. Bryce Bryce, when you’re criticized, if it's not true, disregard it. If it's unfair, don’t let it irritate you. If it's ignorant, smile, but if it's justified, learn from it. :-)

Bryce We already have the draft: Public school. After 13 years of public schooling you think more public schooling will help us?

They're gonna start a war pretty soon somewhere, gotta funnel their buddies the defense contracts they promised. And Joe is saying he wants to have females required to apply for a draft. Not good. But hey, ya'll wanted that "equal opportunity". If I was still in, I'd be jumping ship. Not a good time to be enlisted, that's for sure.

Perhaps some instruction on Article 90 of the UCMJ about following LAWFUL orders and a refresher on the first line of their oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States" wouldn't be a bad idea... And a reminder that "I was just following orders" has been an unsuccessful defense during tribunals.
That's the vetting I want to see.

My son joined the Navy. He didn't really care which party was in the White House. And no, we weren't poor. And no, he'd never even talked to a judge.
