How old are you? Would you be subject to the draft? If not, would you enlist to show solidarity with the young men you want to have drafted?

If it's any of your business, which it's not, I was drafted for the Korean War. What about you, freedomdefender?

I missed the Vietnam Draft. And I wouldn't force a draft on anyone else - unless there's a national emergency. If you served in Korea, thank you. But don't tell today's young people that the government knows best how they should spend their lives - and that the government should be able to order them into the military. The draft is not appropriate for a free society, except in the highest national emergency. Frankly, neither Korea or Vietnam qualified as such, so the draft was wrong in both cases. It would also be wrong now.
