The Ukraine has applied for NATO admission. If this is accepted, and ratified all NATO forces will be at war with russia.

In the current job market the US Army has fallen short by 25% in recruits this year. Other branches of service are also seeing the same problem. Should we go to war with russia this will be a concern.

Military families receive minimal monetary reimbursement to the point where they have problems feeding their families. Sadly, compensation for service occurs upon departure from service in terms of health care, education stipends, and mortgage benefits to mention a few post-service benefits.

We need to step up and better compensate these folks who sign on OR we will be needing to reinstate a draft.
