I don’t understand how this fellow is an enlisted man rather than an officer but he makes an interesting case for a WW II style draft.
Force Protection makes the kind of vehicles he is describing.

Cpl. Finelli writes: “Consequently, we have a severe talent deficiency in the military, which the draft would remedy immediately. While America’s bravest are in the military, America’s brightest are not. Allow me to build a squad of the five brightest students from MIT and Caltech and promise them patrols on the highways connecting Baghdad and Fallujah, and I’ll bet that in six months they could render IED’s about as effective as a “Just Say No” campaign at a Grateful Dead show.”
I agree 100% Dr. Elam. Why not draft these young Americans who are possibly capable of helping with their minds? They don’t necessarily have to be out in the front lines. Good article. I look forward to this book!

IF this becomes a more serious possibility but I doubt it
the time to join the National Guard is now, once the a draft starts it will be impossible. That is the reason for the skepticism about Quayle and Bush who got in when none of the rest of us could.LikeLike
