When I was younger, I worried about being drafted into the Army or the Marines because of the Vietnam War. I went to college to keep from being drafted but after two and a half years, dropped out and enlisted in the Navy.
Today, high school students and college students no longer have to worry about the draft, which to some degree is good, but with the world as it is presently, WORLD WAR III could be right around the corner.
It is that right around the corner that should bother young people today. I know that Americans, especially those between the ages of 18-35, have NO DESIRE for the USA to get involved in the wars of other countries. I can understand why they feel that way.
However, there are certain countries in the world today that HATE THE USA for the sins of previous administrations, some of which were around before we were born... like after WWII.
Countries like:
- Iran
- Middle eastern countries
- Countries of BRICS
- North Korea
want the USA gone and have no problems annihilating us completely.
Most Americans simply do not understand nor do they believe that other countries hate us as much as they do... and, honestly, I hope they never find out the truth of that hate.
Americans have been lucky that wars have not been fought inside the borders of the 48 states because not only would our outlook be different, but we would be living under the FEAR that war might happen again.
A WWIII would more than likely be fought outside the USA, but the impact of that war would touch everything we do, like:
- Education
- Prices
- Gasoline
- Travel
- Internet
- Recreation
- Food
just to name a few...
Whether we get pulled into a WWIII is doubtful to many and a certainty to some, but I doubt it will result in a military draft. Bear in mind that wars happen because leaders don't have the courage to BACK DOWN.
Right now those fears of war are concentrated around:
- Russia
- China
- Iran
- Israel
- North Korea
It is believed by our military strategists that none of the leaders of those five countries, except for Israel, actually values human life.
