Th Confederacy was the first to reach for the draft--because they needed to in order to raise the bodies--and they lost.

And you really cannot call WW1 a win. It was like Desert Storm--it ended short of victory, and all we did was put off a day of reckoning.

The north had a draft and won, WWI had a draft and 99% of the world knows we won, WWII had a draft and we damn sure won. You can't back up your incorrect statement by rewriting history. Please go spin your "logic" elsewhere.

The bottom line is that we have plenty of volunteers without a draft. When we need more people than those who volunteer, then we need a draft. We are not in that situation so a draft is stupid.

One reason the left wants a draft is because they know we will be less likely to go to war if people are scared they will be drafted and sent to war. It is the solution for the anti-war crowd to end wars.
