True. Conscription is self-defeating (on the home front) for an offensive war.

Unless the public is in support of it, of course.

I think it takes a defensive (at least initially) effort to engender that sort of across-the-board support.

But of the government can spin up a good "offense is a good defence" thing they can pull it off.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Or if the majority of the populace believes the war is a good thing. Which would sort of tie in to how the government spins it.

But this wont happen. The people hate the gov, fewer and fewer people are supporting a needless war, even the armed forces are pushing to leave. There is no good spin for the US right now.

There are enough people who believe so deeply in either the far-left or the far-right that spin is meaningless.
