@DotardTed Another important thing: they've removed all the requirements for signing contract with the military, they can now coerce the 17 year olds into this. And that, I think, is exactly the demographics they are targeting with this. People who have actual military experience or at least received some training don't want to have anything to do with this anymore — there are hundreds of cases of reservists deserting in courts. Inexperienced youngsters on the other hand can be forced into it.
