Surprisingly enought it is the Democrats who are in favor of reinstating the draft. The logic being that if middle class and upper class American kids are drafted and died in these wars there would not be much support for unnecessary wars. However,those with the means have always been able to get out of wars.What we will have is more poor dying at a disparaging rate.
I remember when I was a senior a few of my friends decided to join the army. The pressure was on from both them and the recruiters. the recruiters were other young Puerto Ricans that had just joined a year or two earlier. Thhey try convincing me to join with some down right silly reason. The silliest being that all the girls love a men in uniform,especially when you have your dog tag lol. I was most surprised that my closest friend joined. He came from a middle class family. He was usually anti-American but most of that was just silly young teen talk. He came back a different person after coming back from boot camp. He became this serious individual with no time for play. Quite a change from being the class clown and the guy who was very popular socially. My dad try to convince me to join. I was too idealistic for the Army. Wars are stupid uinless you have to defend against invaders. Only a few profit enormously from Wars.
