“The United States appears to be sending troops from several #Marine Expeditionary Units, the 82nd #Airborne, 101st Airborne, 75th #Rangers, 10th Mountain Division, and assorted #SpecialOperations into the fight in Iran. At the same time, the administration is lowering standards to let more people into the military—except for those they feel are unfit to die honorably for the white, conservative Christian nation they envision. Additionally, in one prominent gaffe, the White House hinted that it might consider reinstituting the #draft. This is almost unprecedented historically, with one grim but unsurprising exception.”
Instead of the USA Warrior class having multiple deployments, spreading the load has a unintended consequence. The USA conflict in Vietnam was stopped by conscripts refusing to fight.
