without having a draft
by training volunteers as weekend soldiers
which is nothing new under the sun
so the country could have a military with professional soldiers
that are able to immediately go fight wars abroad
and weekend soldiers that defend the homeland
and as long as weekend soldiers are voluntary
and are allowed to bring all their weapons home
and are continually trained
and have access to the best weapons and equipment
then weekend soldiers could be a lethal component
of the military
a massive force of weekend soldiers
are cheaper than bureaucrats
and it could be a way for unemployed people
to earn money and self respect
but weekend soldiers should not be forced to go on missions abroad
but they should be forced to defend the homeland
and as weekend soldiers train more
then they will learn more
so that eventually
some of them could be the equivalent of professional soldiers
and if weekend soldiers
want to go abroad to fight wars
then they would simply do some tests
to determine their capability
and possibly do some additional training
a massive force of weekend soldiers
with the best weapons and equipment at home
distributed in every city and village
in the country
would be an efficient deterrent to any enemy
weekend soldiers
don't need to be able to walk far and run fast
since they would be everywhere
and they don't need to be strong to carry much
since they already got their wepons at home
and they don't need to be smart
since they only need to point where drones should fire missiles
countries pay welfare to unemployed people
so a country would loose nothing
by paying salary every weekend for weekend soldiers
a massive conscription force
has the advantage of many soldiers
but the disadvantages that comes from forced work
but a massive force of weekend soldiers
to defend the homeland
and a professional force to fight wars abroad
would be more efficient
in the future cybernetics could make every weekend soldier
as lethal as special operations personnel
