Majority of the military, yes. But with women on the front lines and other political moves they are not as strong as they used to be. And as a whole we are buttermilk soft with the mainstream media pushing and praising feminization of men. Politics would play a huge role in any war and we are the softest country in the world.

I remember being sworn-in to the All-Volunteer Army 6 months prior to my high school graduation. The draft had just ended a few months before. Troops were returning from Vietnam and I had turned 17 years old 3 months before.
I was skeptical about how the military would be with only a volunteer force shortly after a terrible war that took so many young men and women from their families. I found out quickly that our military hadn't skipped a beat. Proud to have served with my brothers in arms and proud of the ones who serve today.
