I’ve served with the unmotivated and unwilling. So here’s my counterproposal.
We take all the civilians who are already on the government payroll and stick them in the military. They consume our tax monies anyway, so what’s the downside? It’s not like the Department of Education teaches anybody. The State Department seems to think they set policy, the TVA’s mission is complete, and UPS delivers faster and more reliably than the Post Office.
They would scream,”I didn’t volunteer for this.” Well, my kids didn’t volunteer for the military. I did. My son-in-law did. My brother and my nephew did. Most jobs get done best by those who want to do them.
