First, the draft is involuntary servitude.
Second, the military doesn’t want it. Professional warriors have always had contempt for conscripts.
Third, the constitution of a military should not be such that it is useless, as those proposing a draft would like to make it.
***First, the draft is involuntary servitude.***
Not so. Here is how it was explained to me.
Back in the early days of America all men were required to be a member of the militia, to protect the people against Indian, French, and other attacks.
In a major conflict, the ARMY could levy a draft on the Militia members to use as auxiliary forces against the enemy.
When the US became a nation that militia requirement was still law.
The law was changed at the first of the 20th century.
Now the militia is divided into two parts. The ORGANIZED MILITIA, and the Unorganized Militia.
All men are a part of one of these groups. As a result, the government still has the RIGHT to levy a draft against the Unorganized Militia if needed.
