After two years and seeing just how crazy society can be, you really think drafting random people and telling them to put IVs in someone's arm with minimal training is a good idea?

Drafting people for war works fine because, for the most part in those situations, you're handing someone a gun and telling them to be a meat shield. A similar approach to treating the sick at home is a bit more difficult.

That's not how drafting for a war works at all. There's extensive training for all the positions, unless you're considering the mythical notion of how Russia sent bodies to war with no weapons
