Re: Article about the draft

[skeletal_history]

A few years ago, I went to a lecture given on Conscientious Objectors by two men who had been COs during the Vietnam War. At the Q&A afterwards, someone asked them about a draft being implemented for the wars in the Middle East or the War on Terror. They made a good case for there never being another draft, first and foremost because the majority of the people in Congress today were never drafted into combat or served in the military, and they don't come from the WWII generation of men who were drafted into a war which they won. Anybody who was anybody in politics (generally speaking, ofc) in the years after WWII were veterans and were proud of their service. Not only our culture as a whole but the culture of politicians is different now and is very unlikely to see implementing a draft as a good idea.

That makes sense to me, so I see the question of drafting women as a moot point.

Personally, I'm opposed to the draft for men, too. I think conscription into military service during wartime is barbaric (I think war is barbaric, as well), and the world would be better suited if everyone was a Conscientious Objector and refused to fight.
