The all-volunteer nature is not the problem, any more than drafting unwilling and possibly phuked-up people was the problem in the 60s.
Just *possibly* lowering all the standards and waiving obvious faults to meet the drastic warm-body requirements is the problem.
(By the way, some 8 million served in the Vietnam era. Only two million of those were drafted. So don't knock the volunteer method too hard.)
