Any thoughts on the remark about the war taking years and it's implications?
I see in our future as stated above, enlistment hitting lows, re-enlistment almost forced because voluntary will be low. And the government telling the kids that if they do not enlist they are not true Americans and if their parents tell them not to enlist, to turn their parents in as terrorist accomplices.

I also see the economy and job sector getting worse and worse, so that joining the military is about the only way to earn a living and be able to afford anything (albeit still not very much).
