Frankly the draft should be considered. It may help our youth understand the price of freedom should not fall on just the few that were willing to serve. It is unfair that they should be the only ones risking their lives while college students march in the streets in protest of a war that they do not understand.

The draft supports a patriotic America. My father was drafted and still keeps his patches and metals with great pride. I served in the Army as a volunteer. Military discipline is not a bad thing in this generation of confused kids. It gives distinction and honor. Not bad qualities if you ask me.

I have to disagree with you. Although a lot of youth are stupid and immoral, not all are. You have to be in a young person's shoes to understand how angry it makes us disiplined youngsters when some 60 year old guy says, "Our youth aren't disiplined enough. Let's force them into the military!" And plus, I don't think most people want to see the military turned into a disipline school instead of a force for freedom around the world.
