I do not believe in a draft, unless circumstances make it absolutely necessary. We need a small army of highly paid professionals. Many career military people currently serving would already be qualified, but I'd cut down the numbers of the rank-and-file, and useless bureaucrats, drastically. We should not be sending soldiers to bases in Europe, and many other places. Who are we "protecting" them against, China? It's stupid, and expensive. Time to look out for Number One, which is the U.S.A.
