<p>We’re at war. Bring back the draft.</p>
<p>The vast majority of Americans who were drafted (Republicans and Democrats) did NOT burn their draft carts or run away to Canada during Vietnam. The vast majority of them served. </p>
<p>Vietnam knew no favorites, conservative or liberal, it was an equal opportunity disaster. Plenty of Republicans and Democrats got drafted and served their country honorably, and plenty of them died doing it.</p>
<p>The necessity of a draft is pretty evident, the military is not currently large enough to fight a global war on terror AND be ready to put more boots on the ground should a more conventional war should crop up—and unfortunately, it will…Humankind is kind of funny that way. Pretending a draft isn’t necessary puts our troops in a precarious situation and our nation in danger.</p>
<p>The resistence to a draft has more to do with politicians not wanting the nation to actually “feel” like its at war, or experience it’s consequences—what a disservice to our men and women in uniform.</p>
