Re-Instate the Draft???
Yahoo! News - Senator says US may need compulsory service to boost Iraq force
This is it. Moving to Canada may not be the worst thing in the world. But I just don't get this. In this day and age with the way technology works and the way people volunteer. I thought this country was based upon a volunteer army. I can tell you this much I wouldn't be to happy if my son or daughter got drafted. If it was made to be that mandatory service was necessary I may not have a problem with that. But to think that they are considering random drafts. There is just something unnerving about this. Its not like in Israel where everybody serves. My fear is that to many good young people will fight in wars that they may not believe in. This country was built on choice, and if someone chooses not to fight they should not be jailed or criticized.
