I agree, resume the draft,

[wintertime]

Want to guess who is most likely to be drafted and who would most likely to fail the mental and physically requirements to be in the military? Somehow I believe the burden would fall disproportionally on Whites and Asians.

Yeah, forced servitude. That’s the answer./s

Who would want their kid, (and now it’ll include daughters) to serve in a military saturated with homosexuality, anti American thought, pro islamist sentiment...etc?

If the military is going to be culturally -American-, and used for our nations defense, then fine to a point. But a drafted army is a very poor choice for wars of convenience and empire policing. Libya no, Syrian regime change no, central Africa no.

resume the draft,

What are you going to do with the draftees?

There are 1.3 million active members of the US military.

Every year 3 million people graduate from high school.

If we go with the standard two years of service we get an active military of seven million. But if you are going to train 3 million new people every year you are going to need to expand our training facilities.

Currently we are training about 180,000 a year. So we will need the ability to train 15 times that number.

So add in another million to do the training.

And that is just the start.

The draft is actually an awful idea unless you need a large number of warm bodies very fast.
