David W. Barno's 'New Moral Compact'

In a “New Moral Compact” David W. Barno stress that the United States current reliance on men and women voluntarily joining army forces.

To do this he comes up with a plan to make the public see a bigger picture.

This move would cause unwelcome events in the lives of the people who are drafted.
This method would be used to make Americans more opposed to sending soldiers to war. But Barno’s plan to do this does pose helps the cause with sending troops to war. If this plan was to go into effect, Barno’s idea would be more of a counter affective since he really didn’t recognize the problem to start off. Starting off with not dealing with the public, but instead with those in charge.
That the real problem is those who have the power to send those to war also have the power to not go into war.
