We needed the draft in WWI and WWII. We don't need one now unless we get in a major war again.

Another reason the left says we need a draft is because they say only poor people volunteer and the rich get off scott free. However, the same thing happened when we had a draft (the rich had ways to avoid it). Plus, only the so called poor (or at least not the rich) work in a lot dangerous jobs (firefighter, police, iron workers, etc.), but does that mean we should make the so called rich volunteer for those jobs too? It is more crazy left ideas.

I was addressing the person who said if you needed a draft you had already lost the war. I did not agree with that. Please note what the discussion was.

As to rich people in the service, both my father and I have made long posts about the LARGE number of wealthy family members from our town who serve.
