“... Washington randomly selecting whose kids were going to have their lives turned inside out by being drafted and getting shot at...”
OK-and the alternative is...?
Not having a draft when there is not even a declaration of war?
Not ending the draft in Fall 45' was the biggest mistake America made in the post war era.
How about not drafting young American men and sending them to fight and die on the other side of the world in a country that was no direct threat to the US?
