I'm not convinced. Assuming you even recruit the officer class from draftees, you're going to recruit the ones that think like you, or at least that you respect, which in practice means they know someone you respect, were taught somewhere you respect, in short they're probably from the same circles as you. Plus if you don't want to join the military, are you really going to give a toss about contributing?
