I doubt that half of the young men could pass the basic physical health standards.
Because close to half of Americans know, are related to, or have served in one of the armed branches.
If we had mandatory military service, this would mean more people serving. This would mean more people affected by government decisions. It then becomes more difficult for the government to commit our young men and women to fruitless conflicts that get our people killed and mained and don't advance American interests.
