Military draft... What do you think?
This post was partially prompted by a post by lordjeebus in another thread. There have been small preparatory steps taken to allow for the activation of draft boards recently. This is in response to increased American commitments overseas as well as a constriction in manpower that has taken place over the last 10-15 years. In essence, more international responsibility spread among fewer soldiers.
So...
1. Do you think the draft is a good idea in the sense that it will solve more problems than it creates? (this can be from a practical, ethical, fiscal, etc. point of view)
2. Do you think that its unfair to ask American reservists and guardsmen (guardspersons?) to do 15 months consecutive duty overseas?
3. Do you think the draft will actually make a comeback?
