ps- I actually AM for a military draft.....but not as it was in the past.
I'm for a mandatory "youth corp" similar to Roosevelt's plan...with all boys and girls serving their country for two years right out of high school...non militarily...working in parks, hospitals, guarding borders, building low income homes, roads and highways, national infrastructure, airports, community service, police support, etc....etc....
if a military draft is needed...all these kids will have already gone through boot camp....and all boys who can physically serve, are then placed in the draft lottery.
if they serve in the youth core or the military for 4 years.......college is free.
personally........I'm stunned there was no draft after 911........but we're not the strong willed country we were back in 1941, are we?
