It can, because 60% of students are women and very few of those are needed in the armed forces, so half are out. Plus service is normally 3 years while uni lasts 5. So around 5M men can be enlisted. And everyone sees the writing on the wall that university education has overshoot it's facility: the marginal student today certainly net loses in life as a result of education, not wins. It needs to shrink. Armed forces on the other hand, will def. need to grow given the insane shit that's going on. 4M enlisted resulting in 6.5M male students and 12M students overall looks about right.
