We should not exempt anyone from the draft, only fight a war or policing action with a draft, and require everyone in political office to not exempt their family from the draft. And we should not take only the youngest for the draft.
If we are not all going to fight and suffer, and pray and bind together because of that, then the war or policing action isn’t worth the lives lost or taken.
Vietnam taught our leaders to not draft, so the Gulf War and Iraq Afganistan put all the burden on too few, who suffer today while everyone and the government has forgotten and moved on to the next chess move or passionate fight.
Nothing calms the passion to fight like bullets whizzing tge ears and mortars coming in. That’s what family needs to know, every family, in every office.
The laborers are few.
“”Vietnam taught our leaders to not draft””
I don’t think it did, but what did WWII teach our leaders about the draft?
