That's also not true.
Historically there have been numerous times when circumstances demonstrated a complete inability for the US military to meet their recruitment goals and fill needed slots. When that happened, the draft has not been reinstated. Instead, the military increased recruitment efforts through cash enlistment incentives, heavier recruitment within high schools and colleges and increased advertising.
It happened in the 70s and early 80s. It's happening now.
The US military didn't become a voluntary force because so many people were volunteering that the draft became obsolete. And it doesn't remain one because more than enough people are volunteering now.
If what PNJ said was rude, then so was the original statement by Calimom that provoked it.

That's about the dumbest argument ever posed regarding the idea that poor, innocent, peaceful-minded military members couldn't POSSIBLY have known they might have to go into combat.
And why does it matter when a person can afford NOT to work and chooses not to because they simply don't want to? Nothing more nothing less. There seems to be a stereotype when a woman doesn't work. I don't think I should have to justify to any woman why I don't work, just like I don't expect justification from a woman who does work when she doesn't "need" to (financially speaking).
