Bring back the Draft?

[Nadiine]

I heard an argument about bringing back
drafting since Universities were harrassing military recruiters
from recruiting.

Would it stop problems with people taking the Country for granted?
Or is it wrong? I'm not sure about it....

The only people that would complain about it is whiney, epicene liberals.

Get rid of abortion and you won't need to bring back the draft or the economy. We're killing soldiers and future taxpayers before they're even born.

I heard that Italy has major problems with this - that was a few yrs back tho.
That's a concept I hadn't thought of tho. I'm sure not having any kids
doesn't help either

I think it's time the pro-life lobby incorporated this into their platform. It's such a common sense thing, and yet it's never occurred to anybody. Abortion is affecting other major areas of life in this country and certainly affecting other people's pocketbooks. Now alot of people like abortion because they don't want to pay taxes to enable the government to take care of unwanted children.

People would go nuts here if you bring back the draft. Especially with the major anti-war environment we are in right now.

i beg to disagree! some of us whiny libertarian conservatives would complain as well!

TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT ALREADY! no thanks on the draft!

 

[mont974x4]

lately its been more liberals wanting the draft....because they make it a class/race war issue.


Having served myself, I prefer a volunteer service.

 

[Rhamiel]

the draft is a bad idea
we have the ideal, an all volunteer armed forces is an ideal that many peoples have strived for over the ages.
Now everybody serving knows that the other guy is there because he made a rational choice to be there, some poeple might regret it, but there is a lot more trust this way then with a draft.
Also I do not think the American people would go for it, look at how it was in the 1970's and that was when most people thought the draft was a good idea, most people do not think like that now, if they did there would be a draft because they would just elect people who agree with them

I'm old enough to remember the draft well - I remember how nervous my male friends were each year waiting to see if their number came up

personally I prefer an all volunteer military - but that's just me

one thing of interest - whenever I've heard politicians talk about the draft being reinstated it's been by Democrat politicians - yet when I hear the general population talk about it they all think it's the Republicans who want to bring it back - again, so much for accurate reporting

If the recent state of our military is an indication of future enlistment, we might well find ourselves in a situation where we have no choice. Given the left's view of the need for little to no military strength, they could be the ones to bring that need about. How's that for irony?

Community service is something I would like to see made available to all those finishing high school. Helping others and seeing how little others have might help a great deal of our youth gain some perspective and help them grow up and figure out what they want for their future.

 

[Rhamiel]

well if it is needed it is needed, but I do not think we are at that place yet, I am not saying a draft is evil by its very nature, I am just saying it is not something we should have now

 

[Apollo Celestio]

I wouldn't support it. But maybe it's because I'm at that age. Then again, I am a university student at a fairly liberal college. Otherwise, as I've said before, I only live here. I don't care about national pride and all that.

 

[Secundulus]

The Military neither needs or wants a draft. We do need a larger Army if we want to continue fighting wars all over the world, but we don't need a draft to be larger. All we need is congressional authorization which is highly unlikely to be given.

 

[MrJim]

It works for some other countries~maybe create a foreign legion to do some of this stuff...

Blackwater?

Blackwater?

~well I thinking more along the lines of the French Foreign Legion...

 

[GQ Chris]

well obama's desired paramilitary pseudo-army should take care of most defense needs...

but again, bambi's supporters would be the last ones to want to do three months of basic training in service for the country, so I am wondering how all these epicene, Michael Moore loving types will handle a draft... they would burn their draft cards and it would be like Vietnam all over again.

 

[porterross]

Which is why the enemies of the US love him.

 

[Christian Soldier]

Speaking as a veteran with two honorable discharges and two good conduct medals, I support an all-volunteer military.

Bringing back the draft would cause more problems than it solves.
