The US military has been an all volunteer force for half a century. Have you served?
- lmz 2mo agoNot even American. Just visited once for a few weeks. The answer is generic, in recent times you can compare how Ukraine or Russia can conscript their own citizens but probably not foreign workers who just work there.
- mcmcmc 2mo agoOk so you probably wouldn’t know that foreign born service members make up 5% of our military, most of those becoming naturalized citizens while serving. They’re not shirking their responsibilities anymore than natural born Americans who don’t volunteer.
- lmz 2mo agoVoluntary service is great but when you get invaded you're not going to send the H1B visa holder to the frontlines, are you?
