We must immediately take action, or we’ll see the Chinese Flag flying over Washington by mid-century. ... and the problem would be what? The practical question remains, that the Team China military is all-voluntary. To institute a draft against a prospective foe spun out of agi-propaganda would do what, besides providing feeding stock for future population of dispossessed fentenyl users? In any case the author, one Joseph F. Rebar of Shamokin Pa., reckons, implicitly, that not only the draft should be tee-ed up, but specifically of the highly qualified type, which presumably leaves the streets in the charge of the less-qualified sortOur Navy has not been able to recruit enough sailors to staff our existing fleet. The Navy raised the maximum enlistment age to age 41. The Navy announced that it is lowering minimum scores on the Armed Forces Qualification Test for new recruits. This does not make any sense. The military today is hi-tech and needs more educated, intelligent recruits. pennlive.com The United States needs the draft | Opinion By PennLive Letters to the Editor Someone in Washington had better halt the political war and start looking into rebuilding our military for a possible war with China (and, possibly Russia). Our military is a mess. China’s Navy is larger than our Navy and will continue to get larger. It is predicted that by 2029, the Chinese Navy will have 460 combat ready ships. We, on the other hand, will have about 260 ships. China’s fleet will be battle ready. Hopefully, our fleet will be battle ready.Our Navy has not been able to recruit enough sailors to staff our existing fleet. The Navy raised the maximum enlistment age to age 41. The Navy announced that it is lowering minimum scores on the Armed Forces Qualification Test for new recruits. This does not make any sense. The military today is hi-tech and needs more educated, intelligent recruits. China has millions of young men/women for military duty who can be placed in their military involuntarily. We rely on an all volunteer military and at this time. Our Army missed recruiting goals by 15,000 last year. Next year is projected to be worse. The Air Force is also missing recruitment goals, and predictions are it will be further worse this year. A Pentagon study of young Americans shows they would not qualify for military service without a waiver due to being overweight, using drugs, or having mental and physical health problems.We need a military draft, or at least, some type of a 12-week boot camp for all high school graduates.
