Today in a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Lee questioned noted defense experts on the status of the All-Volunteer force that makes up our military. The men and women of the all-volunteer force have made great improvements and contributions to the operation of the armed forces, and the benefits of this structure have been seen across the force in the past decades. However, Congress and the Department of Defense must work intensively to address any of the unintended consequences of creating this force. We should not allow the military and war-making decisions to become separate from the rest of American society, and can prevent this from happening by further integrating our Guard and Reserves with active forces and making more thoughtful, democratic decisions about why, when, and how we apply military force.
