If a draft was necessary I wonder if this sort of thing would matter?
Probably not. In the event of an actual war the military switches from being a pinhead organization that's obsessed with pointless minutiae to being a more results oriented kind of outfit.
Admiral Halsey's words come to mind:
I never trust a fighting man who doesnt smoke or drink. Kill Japs, Kill Japs, Kill more Japs!And my favorite comment which was addressed to the pinheads who thought that the soldier's primary job was to fill out forms in triplicate:
If it helps kill Japs then do it. If it doesn't help kill Japs then I don't give a damn about it.
