As a former professional soldier I share the contempt for conscript troops that every professional soldier has had throughout history.

We don't need conscript troops.

The military doesn't want conscript troops.

It seems that these days the ONLY people who want conscript troops are anti-war zealots who want the threat of the draft to swell their ranks and coffers.

I was Regular Army during the draft and never felt that way, I doubt draftee General James B. Vaught feels that way, 93% of those of our WWII Army, were draftees.

Personally I think that draftees would be superior to 42 year old grandmothers and 35 year old single moms. We would sure save a heck of a lot of money on the first 2 years of wages, day care and other family concerns, and Gynecologists.
