Mass dodging through legal means IS resisting.The same phenomenon happened between 2004-2009 in the all-volunteer military when there was a recruitment and retention shortage and the Army had to raise the enlistment age to 42 and issue waivers for people with criminal records and mental health issues and give out huge retention bonuses. Cutoff scores for promotions became super-low. You had incompetent people going from E-3 to E-7 in a matter of a few years. On the bright side it brought us the post 9-11 GI Bill and the end of DADT. Just like the unpopularity of military service in the 70's brought an expedited integration of women. |
