[ProllyInfamous]

My landlord is a highly-decorated E-6 (drafted sargeant) Vietnam vet — a good friend of many years. I helped copyedit his memoirs, we have shared backbreaking-work together (his home maintenance).

It's incredible to me that he'll probably still be alive when young adults start getting drafted again — is this how "they"re going to deal with excess NEETs?

I was their age back when Iraq/WMDs were all-the-news... and remember when Mother cried worried tears of her own draft-age sons (some decades ago).

My friend and I are very worried, now both old enough as to become unfit for service.
