One reason I support universal military conscription (for girls as well as boys) is that it would cause a lot of people to see that military power is not in fact the solution to every single problem, from border regulation to climate changehttps://thebaffler.com/latest/our-one-weird-trick-military …

About 40% of the Boomers got conscripted and they are just slightly less rabid than Silent. So, I don't know about that.

Oh wait: ~40% of males - and not just conscription, also volunteer.

True, but I wonder if the other 60% had had to serve in the military during Vietnam how things might be. A lot of middle- and upper-class families would've shared the risk/burden; Good chance we would have rolled back from SE Asia sooner, or never invaded to begin with.
