[QUOTE="ShadowSD:474790"]It'll never happen. Our society has changed in the last thirty years so that a MUCH larger chunk of younger people in the workplace use computers and a MUCH smaller chunk perform physical labor. Trying to recruit people like that who have never been in so much as a fistfight into the infantry would be an utter disaster. We picture the Vietnam era as having all these hippies, but the truth is that all those kids grew up in the 50's and learned and adapted to a society that was more geared towards manual labor, chores, a hands on do-it-yourself approach, and a boys-will-be-boys mentality, including a much higher tolerance towards fighting, etc. The first prerequisite for a soldier on the ground is a fighting instinct, and if that's been completely socialized out of them, no amount of training can compensate for it.
