No One Will Join the Military to Fight the Zombies

Even if the coffers hadn�t been empty, if we�d had all the money to make all the uniforms we needed to implement Phase Two, who do you think we could have conned into filling them? This goes to the heart of America�s war weariness. As if the �traditional� horrors weren�t bad enough�the dead, the disfigured, the psychologically destroyed�now you had a whole new breed of difficulties, �The Betrayed.� We were a volunteer army, and look what happened to our volunteers. How many stories do you remember about some soldier who had his term of service extended, or some exreservist who, after ten years of civilian life, suddenly found himself recalled into active duty? How many weekend warriors lost their jobs or houses? How many came back to ruined lives, or, worse, didn�t come back at all? Americans are an honest people, we expect a fair deal. I know that a lot of other cultures used to think that was na�ve and even childish, but it�s one of our most sacred principles. To see Uncle Sam going back on his word, revoking people�s private lives, revoking their freedom�

Notes:

The volunteer military cannot find personnel after endless wars in the Middle East and the Government betraying soldiers by overextending their commitments prevents volunteers from being willing to sign up.
