    You know how that gets ultimately resolved though, right? If recruitment crashes hard enough, they’ll just restart the draft.

    I’m not saying that as an argument for people to enlist. I’m simply pointing out that that’s the logical end state of recruitment crashing out catastrophically. But it would also be effective political suicide.
