With respect to where we are now, we have a voluntary army. And if we ever go back to conscription I hope that at time it will be the kind of conscription that was put in at the end of the Vietnam War. And that is, everybody is equally liable to be called to serve the nation in time of conflict.

High-performing, successful organizations build cultures of introspection and trust and never lose sight of their purpose.
Colin Powell
