It's more likely that it will, the longer it exists. Saying "it will never", implies a pessimistic view of US durability. I think this is a fair interpretation, I can agree with. I understand this is not exactly what you meant.
- jasonwatkinspdx 3y agoThe presumption that a draft is inevitable over growing time is exactly what I'm saying is nonsense.
- Supermancho 3y agoI don't know why anyone would believe that, as I implied. The future is unknowable, but history has shown it takes less than a generation to militarize any nation. Assuming it will be different this time around, is not "overwhelmingly" likely.
