The US is never resurrecting the draft. The last war it was used in resulted in the most ill disciplined army in US history, whereas the all-volunteer force in Desert Storm was the highest quality ever. Bills in Congress to resuscitate the draft in the run up to Iraqi Freedom failed.
A war with China would probably not involve any land campaigns, so the Army wouldn't be heavily involved. The Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps as far as I know were all-volunteer during the Vietnam War, and given how technical much of what the former two do is, they probably wouldn't benefit from conscripts. Nevertheless, I think it would be healthy for society to bring it back since it would engender a sense of civic bonds through shared experience and possibly reduce US interventions abroad since parents wouldn't want their kids getting deployed.
Excited to listen to this one. Big fan of the copper IUD over here. A much better option for many (not all, don't @ me) women who want to avoid hormonal BC (although the insertion might have literally been the worst pain I've ever felt in my life).
You must have grown up in a very white and/or rural area. I’m older than you (I think) and hip hop and black slang were the norm among the white and Asian kids I went to school with.
