Rebuilding a Republican Army
More Americans should be drafted to defend their way of life.
Within hours of Hamas’ unprecedented attack that sparked yet another land war in Eurasia, Israel summoned reservists home and began reintegrating them into its military. Meanwhile, Ukraine has survived onslaughts from the Russian Goliath because its citizens picked up rifles and rapidly learned how to deploy sophisticated weapons systems sent by allies.
Contrast this to Armenia, whose decades-long border conflict with Azerbaijan is turning into a defeat, with much of the disputed territory now occupied after Azerbaijan launched several successful offensives in 2022 and 2023. A small country amidst larger, hostile powers, Armenia lost its defensive shield when its peace broker, Russia, became bogged down in Ukraine. America has no such excuses yet currently finds itself in a similar position of weakness compared to our foes.
There are dangerous forces in the world that are already plotting similar attacks on American soil. Great powers like Russia and China war-game how a conventional attack could be successfully carried out. Unconventional foes lurk in the shadows, waiting for the resources and opportunity to pounce. The question isn’t whether American territory will be attacked, but how we will be equipped to respond.
