Reply #86: The modern draft - the one started for WWI was to get us into war.

[Warren Stupidity]

Leaving aside WWII, the draft has been used exclusively to provide bodies for foreign adventures where we faced no particular national threat. Once again, the theory that a draft will end war, has no historical basis. What war has the draft ended? What history shows instead is that conscription is associated with military adventures. You want peace? Tear down the military industrial complex and reduce our armed forces to those necessary to defend our borders and our trade routes. You want war? Increase the size of our army, continue the corrupt war machine kleptocracy, bring back the draft, provide the war machine with an endless stream of bodies.
