As a draftee myself, I have always thought that young men should definitely have the draft hanging over them when they got out of high school, just like I did in 1965. I think it makes better citizens out of them. It certainly did of me.
I agree with you regarding the citizenship component of the draft. Frankly, I believe there is something to be said for every family participating in the national defense. The idea that the McCains and Hunters are showing up for every war while the Romney and Sununu boys sit back and watch. This shouldn’t happen.
