“A big problem of the draft was it basically snagged the poor and uninformed (not saying all).”
If you will re-read my first post you will note that I specified there should be no exemptions other than for physical or mental problems. I am a vietnam vet and am well aware that the sons of those of power and privelage were able to avoid the draft. I went to college on the GI Bill after serving my three years in the Army (yes, I volunteered) and observed draft avoidance being elevated to a fine art.
If you will re-read my post you quoted from you’ll notice the wish of those who would bring back the draft.
When the person got their “draft” notice they would have the choice of Military Service of some type of In Service to America program.
That is where the favoritism would come into play where the politically protected would dodge military service by doing the Service to American gig.
It’s just a bad idea all around.
Any savings would be more than eaten up by the jobs program and sure would not make much of a difference in service by politicians.
