Should the draft be reinstated?
Contrary to all those who have made simple minded statement regarding this subject, I can tell you first hand that forcing one into military service is not a very good idea. I do believe that every one should serve some time in the armed forces (as most European countries do). They can serve in many support areas and are not needed in combat. I have seen draftees in action, while some were just as brave as others, some were useless. I say start the draft again, only keep them stateside to do things like build walls around the border, staff and maintain National Guard Units and send them into Iraq and Afghanistan only in a support mission. Let the true fighters, those that stepped forward, do the fighting, they are there because of their beliefs and don’t need to be surrounded by people who are pissing and moaning all the time.
