I have thoughts on this topic forthcoming in two different places, but broadly I think this is correct. American civ-mil has real problems and we need to course correct. I increasingly think the AVF itself is not the right force for the road ahead, but also issues at home.https://twitter.com/RadioFreeTom/status/1383805599154991121 …

Out of curiosity about that last point - what do you think has changed to make a volunteer force no longer suitable?
Uh, short version: rising internal political tensions, weaknesses in civ-mil relationship, shift back to near-peer deterrence and need for future capacity over present capabilities. Long version...uh, to appear soonish, I hope?

I was more interested in the non-internal-political reasons, given that you and Tom had discussed that fairly thoroughly already. Do you think the AVF had any benefits aside from bypassing Vietnam fatigue at its late-Cold-War adoption?

(I am very interested in the issue, coming from both Israeli and American backgrounds.)
