War End In 1943 Predicted By Rural War Panel
Chairman May of the Wease Military Affairs committee predicted the war could end in 1943. He said no draft of married men or 18 and 19 year olds would be needed, basing his view on a military secret from Russia's reverses and regent registration figures. He estimated about 3.125 million in the 18–19 group, with roughly 2 million likely to lead to service, more than the army needs. May argued an army of 5 million suffices and the current force plus reserves can meet manpower without drafting the young or married. The enemy would be too occupied to threaten invasion, negating the need for a large home army.
