Selective Service can be fair now, because they are not taking anyone.

As soon as the scion of a very wealthy and politically powerful family gets drafted, all the corruption will come back into play.

Civil War conscription corruption was worse in the south. Confederate conscripts were send home after years of service, to get better from wounds, and then were reconscripted into their state forces, then re-dispatched to the so false-national government to meet new state quotas.

We have seen conscription in every other nation, and it is much the same. It is involuntary servitude per the 13th Amendment. Only Democrats support conscription in these times.

Says who? I'm not a democrat. I'm a conservative. The Israelis are conservative, right? Look, neither of us is going to change the other's mind. What will change minds is a multiple of 9-11.
