[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m asking genuinely here: [b]I assume that there is simply no way the draft can return[/b]. What does everyone think?

The most important thing to me as I age is being vehemently against war and against US support of war across all theaters. Against military spending, against continuing what Chalmers Johnson titled ‘the sorrows of empire.’ I support spending to aid with educational, military, and domestic support spending for those in any kind of need and in terms of infrastructure and the like. I’m not an isolationist, but the pendulum has swung and frozen in an opposite direction that makes me fear for the future of 90% of the world.[/quote]
Don't assume anything. If there is a war and the military does not have the bodies, the draft will be reinstated. There is a reason that young men must register for selective service upon turning the age of eighteen. It is to know exactly where to find them if a draft in necessary. Right now it is an all-volunteer military because Vietnam was such a disaster. There were more than enough volunteers after the 911 attack, so a draft was not necessary. Right now, all the military branches are experiencing problems in recruiting good, qualified soldiers, marines and sailors. The brass is screaming the alarms.
