NPR: Millennials Want To Send Troops To Fight ISIS, But Don't Want To Serve
In the wake of the Paris attacks, a majority of young Americans support sending U.S. ground troops to fight ISIS, according to a wide-ranging new poll from the Harvard Institute of Politics.
The institute has asked millennials about the idea of American boots on the ground at three different times this year, and the survey results have fluctuated somewhat, but there seems to be a "hardening of support."
In this most recent survey, 60 percent of the 18- to 29-year-olds polled say they support committing U.S. combat troops to fight ISIS. But an almost equal number (62 percent) say they wouldn't want to personally join the fight, even if the U.S. needed additional troops.
WNU Editor: The Harvard IOP Fall 2015 Poll is here. What's my take .... 85% would not want to join the military and go to war against the Islamic State .... I guess this same group will probably not support the draft either.

This is kind of what happened in Rome, the people supported the empire only as long as they didn't have to to do any of the heavy lifting. It will not last much longer.
Yep, craven and aging populations will not keep you safe.
