Carlus always says he wants to bring back the draft, well, just take everything you're lamenting here, and scale that up by many orders of magnitude, and that's what a draft would be like, that's all that's happening here, the AVF is "drafting" the Millenial generation by default, because that's all they have to work with, and you can't stop this shit, I mean, Creighton Abrams couldn't stop it, in the middle of a shooting war, and if Creighton Abrams couldn't stop it, nobody could.
What, you think you're gonna "crack down"? Please, Crieghton Abrams had Long Binh to crack down with, didn't make a lick o' difference, the troops were fragging his officers in the field, total chaos, and that was "old" army, with the big stick, but big stick didn't scare em'.
What? You think it was different under Fred Franks back in VII Corps in the 1980's? Nah, same kind of PC chickenshit back then too, the old army was broken in Vietnam, and it never came back, this all went down when Fred Franks was in Cambodia, not when he was in Ansbach.
Trust me, there was plenty of weirdo disciplinary shit going on at the tip of the spear in West Germany, in fact, there was weirder shit going on there than there was back home. When the troops get to CENTAG that's when they start acting weird, whatever, the weirdo West German bad influences.
The Millenials ain't even that rowdy, there was way crazier shit going on back in the day, there just wasn't any social media around for it to escalate to the press.
