As far as freeing up the military to perform war fighting duties, soldiers have been working in close proximity to civilians for years…all the way back to the World war I era. The interaction between civilian and military gives both a perspective that enhances job performance and appreciation for what each does. At one time this was considered a good thing. Is it now a bad thing? If this issue is a shortage of soldiers, the U.S. Government has the right to institute a nation-wide draft to fill military requirements. Why do we need civilians to shore up any shortages?
