who says that you wont loose some 1000 more soldiers, if you stay?



We will. But that's their job and they volunteered for that exposure to the possibility of death to help others.


Thats very true but eventually they will run out of people from Alabama/Backwoods and they will start looking at us and a draft reinstatement.



Excuse me? Your assumption of the military as backwoods uneducated bumpkins with no hope for a real job is 100% incorrect and insulting.

Those people are the best moral spectrum of our society, and understand the concept of sacrifice to make life better. The very concept that you being drafted is an upgrade is ludicrous.

Without us bumpkin lowlifes you retarded "elite" children wouldn't be leisurely typing away "sharing your wisdom". You'd be speaking russian/japanese/german and working a labor camp.





The average front line soldier in WW2 had a third grade reading and writing level. Everyone else was put to use as an engineer/strategist/officer.

Regardless of education in the event of another WW the only test that will be conducted is an XRay. If your bones show, your in.

It's not a matter of whom joins and what their background is...I'm just talking statistics.



You're talking out of your ass. Remember that the entire population at that time was coming out of the depression era and the population as a whole was uneducated.

The military in a peacetime volunteer role is a BETTER educated force than the populace at general, and quite frequently use the military to get education to move into the private sector. Military leadership traits at all levels are highly desired and employers prefer veterans over video game playing slackers anyday.

It takes FAR more than an XRAY to get in. I recommend going through the fitering process and boot camp and see if you aren't whining by day one. These soldiers are tough, smart and valuable to society.


A) Schools were not closed during the depression.
B) Every person in my Highschool that signed up with the military was either about to flunk out or didn't have the grades to get into college.
C) Was a social commentary on the WW2 medical exam.


You need better info.

Just because low ASVAB slackers APPLY to the military, that doesn't mean they make it through training. And if they do, they CHANGE.
When they come home talk with them and see the difference in them. You'll understand.

During the depression, children were kept home to help with the farms and work in factories to put bread on the table. There was no PTA, Truancy board and certainly kids weren't CHOOSING to stay home. Life was hard and people died. Education was a luxury to the rich.

Do I seem like a bumpkin? Because when I joined I was EXACTLY what you describe. Now I'm an analyst for a fortune 500.
