I don’t agree with the premise. A little more uncertainty in the lives of our youth isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
And boo-hoo that draft boards had to make ‘hard decisions.’ That’s life, snowflake.
The author seems to want to equate military service with slavery/involuntary servitude, regardless of the Supreme Court’s 1918 decision to the contrary.
So now, instead of military service being spread more or less evenly across all walks of life, it is more or less constrained, I suspect, to the lower portion of the middle class among those who have fewer other options - excepting those patriotic young men and women whose highest calling is to serve and protect the Constitution.
I just love it when people let their literary skills overpower their analytical ones.
“The author seems to want to equate military service with slavery/involuntary servitude, regardless of the Supreme Court’s 1918 decision to the contrary.”
The Supreme Court may have upheld DEMOCRAT Woodrow Wilson’s draft, but whatever those lawyers-with-robes wrote, the draft is BY DEFINITION involuntary service. You have no choice in the matter - unless you want to go to prison. Absence of choice is a synonym for involuntary.
“want to equate military service with slavery/involuntary servitude, regardless of the Supreme Court’s 1918 decision to the contrary.”
The Supreme court was wrong. It was just progressive era BS. It was no better of a decision than Dred Scott, Plessy vs Ferguson, or Roberts and his Obamacare as a tax concept.
Call it what you want, it is forcing someone into servitude against their will. And today’s globalist military leaders are morally bankrupt, godless and perverted. It would be a crime to force someone to obey them.
