I'd have to agree, the draft would be a HUGE mistake right now. Consider that the American armed forces are based upon technology and highly trained, highly skilled personell and not just sheer numbers. I doubt you would have as an effective military with the draft. This generation learned all too well from the previous generation about drafts...
Although, i don't quite understand how the draft ever worked. Getting someone to fight in a war that they didn't sign up for is pretty strange. I'm not sure what really keeps people in line in that situation. then again, i understand fear of consequences for goign against the draft/service orders, but seriously, to send people out as canon fodder..not cool.
sorry, not making much sense right now, it's kinda late adn im' tired...
but one last thing: 34 is a horrible cutoff date..by that time, you're asking men adn women to go away after the birth of their second child and after only 9 yrs of marriage (based on averages of wehn people get married/have children). It just seems very....shall i dare say, Hard on families/family life/careers/etc...
26, i can understand, any later and you've got people well into careers and families...
