People don’t want to fight wars we have no business being in and see no threat. Not to mention, these wars get funded by printing money, devaluing ones time and worth.

Land of the free because of the .... The forced?

The author makes some good points about the "warrior caste" phenomenon, and opposes the open-ended wars that led to massive strategic military failures in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, he draws the exact wrong conclusions. Instead of bringing back conscription to "fill gaps" in recruitment goals, the globe-spanning US military machine should be shrunk by closing overseas bases, reducing unnecessary garrisons in foreign countries, etc. That would be a good start. We need peace.
