WASHINGTON, D.C. – Americans are now less likely to express “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the U.S. military, with a noticeable decline that has persisted for the past five years. The latest numbers are from a June 1-22 Gallup poll that also captured record lows in public confidence in several public institutions.

      Hopefully never. What we want is a draft that includes males and females. I can see a future where we use the draft for humanitarian reasons with the environmental and climate crisis. That means more college educated middle to upper class draftees, those with experience. Sorry Millennials and Zoomers.
