Thank you for your service, Will. I served in 1980-87 in the US Navy including three deployments aboard the USS Tarawa. Thanks to the all volunteer service I was able to get two years of excellent training in electronics and computers by scoring 97% on my ASVAB. This training has been the foundation of my civilian career.

A return to the draft would be a return to draft evasion and a sense of enlisted men (and now women) being “suckers and losers” as Trump calls us. If America wants strong recruitment, it needs to provide strong incentives to join. I signed up because in 1979 the economy was bad, and as a senior in high school it was a better option than continuing to bag groceries for minimum wage!
