Instead of an "either an all-volunteer force or a fully conscripted force" model, I propose a both-and solution.

    This is an op-ed by some crusty, old, retired Marine lieutenant colonel in a media site owned by Monster.com. Calling this an op-ed ran by the US military is a big stretch

      Yeah it’s not any odficial position by the military or even a proposition…

      It’s still an alarming op-ed

    the added effect of increasing public pressure to prevent open-ended wars led by unaccountable senior leaders like we experienced in our national debacles in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Ah yes, public pressure keeping leaders accountable, a common occurrence in the US

    The moment they give me a gun, I’d shoot the guy who gave me the gun and the guy who told him to give me a gun. Make Officers Fragged Again.

      You’d probably want to wait at least a few minutes in that hypothetical unless you were seeking to just be shot by either the second guy or the third guy.

      Also, bullets are traceable and fragging worked well in Vietnam because it wasn’t.

        How are bullets traceable? There’s no micro stamping and rifling marks, much like other forensics, is suspect at best.

          When you have a very narrow range of possibilities, circumstantial and incomplete evidence is very useful both in genuine epistemology and in pinning someone so you have a sacrificial lamb for the crime.

    Didn’t they get fragged on average like once every three days for an extended period back in Vietnam?
