I joined the army for no reason other than I didn’t know what the fuck to do with myself. Hell I could’ve had a free ride to college if I’d known what I wanted to do.
So it is from the perspective of experience that I will tell you, the quality of our military will plummet when absolutely no one gives a fuck about being there. There were gung ho motherfuckers who really wanted to be in the army and they were good soldiers. Then there were those of us who were just there to fuck off. You don’t want 100x as many of those. The military would just be absolute garbage.
I think this is the point, as much as it is indoctrination.
It will have two effects, one of which is to water down the efficacy of the US military with a bunch of disaffected conscripts and the other to attempt a capture of the “activist” years for what will be the dominant post-Boomer voting block. It is to stamp out some of the more extreme progressive tendencies, like “let’s try not suck hot shit on everything from climate to racial equality to gender equality to economic inequality.”

I would hope there would be split in two groups just for this reason.
There’s always the good brigades and the cannon fodder.
