So what's the deal, we are not suppose to have a God-given love for our sons. What crap! The draft would suck for ALL our children. I have four daughters and would fight against the draft until the bitter end, but would never accept that my family was exempt from the risk that others were asked to bear. The family across the street has four boys. Should they be asked to bear more just because of their father's inability to make female spermatozoa? In a true national emergency like WWII, all must be willing to sacrifice for this great nation.

Agree with the comments about no place for conscripts in todays Army, but in the face of a true fight for survival as a nation; they would not be enough. Even old farts like me would have to take up arms against enemies foreign and domestic.
