Thank you for explaining it so well. Many young people would rather play video games because they are too young for the bar scene or they just don't like it. Many can't afford to go out all the time because of all their bills. Here in NJ car insurance is very costly. I don't know how any of my children will be able to buy a house without years of saving after paying off school loans unless they get help from us. If there was to be a draft I would suggest that they take the ones who drop out of school 1st. I think the draft is a bad idea because I remember it. All too well I remember the college riots and I was only like 9 or 10 yrs old. I think forcing the military on someone doesn't make for a good soldier but then I've never had to serve. I do remember parents ready to send their sons to Canada though.

How could anyone argue with that?

And this was a major impetus of grade inflation. Schools harboring people and being downgraded to keep those who didn't want to be there but didn't want to be drafted.

Unintended consequences stink.
