If someone is inclined to serve in the military they could, but there would be alternatives.

this system doesn't always work take someone who plans to be a doctor should they have to give up two years of their life when they are already giving up the whole thing to other people. just dosent seem right to me
call me crazy but i think that there should also be some things that knock you out of a draft i feel that if you are in say the top 10 percent of people in national standardized tests you shouldn't be drafted these are the people that stand to do a lot for your country they are treasures that should not be waisted. why would you take them from what they are exceling at and send them somwhere that they are not going to fit into.
it really doesnt work i know because my dad was drafted after he finished medical school along with other college graduates and training them did not work. from what he tells me they just weren't afraid of drill sarjent so they couldn't make them do anything and they we all discharged ust told to go home.
anyone agree with this i think it may be a little out therebut it makes since to me
