The United States, led by Isolationists in 1940s and 1950s, achieved some kind of "mutual understanding" with Japan and stood out of Asian and Hindustan wars. By 1972, a possible field for US military operation has been narrowed to Central and South Americas.Strangershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230133040659847517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065347653824914547.post-7802189175401511872013-02-02T04:49:34.056-08:002013-02-02T04:49:34.056-08:00Do you mean that in Stranger's world there was...Do you mean that in Stranger's world there was no conscription at all and in 1972 US had professional army? If so, it seems almost impossible. In our world Vietnam war was one of the main reasons to stop the conscription, which was the routine practice in the most countries. Also Japanese dominance in Asian Pacific in Stranger's world led directly to opposition between US and Japan that meant (in views of that time) big army. And for big army you need the conscription.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
