Non-combat jobs: 38.8% of enlisted personnel had rear echelon assignments—administrative, support, or manual labor.

So more than 60% were combat arms. Mostly grunts.

I'm not talking about peacetime military conscription. This is for actual war.

The US does not do peacetime military conscription.

At least not since the 50s

That's World War 2, dude. Stuff has changed a lot.

Yeah you don’t need as many combat roles anymore.

Yeah, a lot has changed. You can't just take a random asshole off the street, give him a rifle and six weeks of training and expect him to accomplish anything.

Conscription is a complete and utter waste of time and resources in modern warfare.

Mass conscription, maybe. But you were talking about selective service before.

I don't even want to imagine being put in charge of a platoon of conscripted millenials.

The military can still need to get people into roles when they fall short of regular recruitment.

They do that by reactivating retired personnel.

Like recently the reactivated a bunch of pilots.

Conscripted millennials would actually be great. Teach them some discipline.

Some millennials do

Fuck man. This isn't for the good of the millennial. It's for the good of the country.

A lot do

Conscription would actually solve a lot of problems with millenials

It's GenZ that's a bunch of cunts

Those can be one in the same.

People always looking at the military like it's there to do something for you.

It's not a jobs program.

The good of the country is for millennials to stop being weak.

And I'm pretty sure that if you take someone an enslave them and force them to fight they're going to resent you.

Did Vietnam teach people discipline and patriotism?

Or did it have constant fucking riots and end up giving us the dipshits we have running the show today.

By 'people' do you mean everyone or two or more persons?

You are coming from the perspective that it isn’t the norm so sure you may resent it. Here everyone is conscripted so people aren’t as opposed to the idea.

How many wars have you fought recently?

One.

That I was in.

But there were a bunch.

Welp, guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

What country do you live in, CreativeRealms?

Israel.

Ah, ok.

We have a saying here: “The people build the army and the army builds the nation”. I find it to be very accurate.
