I would only begin to approve of reinstatement of the draft if two conditions are met
1 No student deferments- you can go back to school when your service is done.
2. Sons and grandsons of Representatives, Senators, and Cabinet members above a certain level are first to be called
I served two tours in Korea. Many of the ROK (aka South Korea) army personnel I served with (they’ve had a draft since forever) were the sons of big industrial tycoons, generals, admirals and politicians. Nobody gets out of the draft there except for physical disability.
I OK the draft under the following conditions:
1. No deferments at all! 2. All 18 year olds must go and do National service. 3. No Draftees (save for those who volunteer) would be sent overseas to fight unless we have a declared war. 4. Young people could serve in National parks, as CCC firefighters, Americore Red Cross workers, Teachers in inner schools, Build dykes and levees, restore historic sites and build monuments for the nation (Like the sitting bull statue)—All should serve in some way—the mentally retarded (they can pick up paper) The mentally ill (could sew socks and knit) every American—even prisoners could serve in strict labor battalions—stationed in Alaska. All serve for 2 years. let the volunteers do the hard stuff —draftees fill in and learn what they need to be citizens.
Why aren’t women required to register when they turn l8 just like men?? Believe me, I don’t want women in combat, but why aren’t the feminazies up in arms about that?
How do you spell “liberal”? Hypocrite.
