The American public made an error .. demanding the draft be dismantled. Bring back the draft
Only if it is actually done fairly.
The problem with the draft is that people of affluence found ways out of it. Mitt got a missionary exemption, Bush-43 joined the National Guard, Cheney got student deferrments, Rush Limbaugh claimed he had a cyst on his ass.
I wouldn't mind seeing a form of government service everyone has to do from ages 18-20, and the military can be one option amongst many. But everyone has to serve and where you serve is not determined by your personal affluence.
fairly? I'd put the spawn of the 1% on the front lines -- cannon fodder
Interesting concept. If the Spawn of the 1% were put in the first unit deployed, you'd imagine them suddenly developing a new love for diplomacy to resolve problems.
