    Default Bring back the draft

    No phony bone spurs type deferments, no other type deferments , except real disabled people as classified by the military, not private doctors.
    No educational deferments

    Let's see how fast those who cheer and vote for wars are willing to send their kids off to one

    Remember Vietnam, who went and who didn't and why
    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    Not the Draft, rather, one or two years of national service, the Draft being one of the acceptable options

    Could never happen of course, a quarter of the country won't even get a vaccine to save their lives, sure as hell those plus others would never accept a national service requirement

    Do we absolutely need it, no, but if done right, certainly would benefit the country, and especially those involved

    Agree. If the US declares war then send our youth to fight.

    No. Paid private soldiers. At least half the fighters in Iraq were private soldiers. Euphemistically called "private contractors."

    why would you want people who don't want to be in the military, to be in the military?.......

    Okay, we bring back the draft. Between a third and half of all those drafted will be turned down if we use the same standards that were in place in WW 1, 2, Korea, and Vietnam.
    Between health issues and insufficient mental acuity, between a third and half--depending on what part of the country you're talking about--will be dropped as ineligible. The biggest regions with high turn down rates will be the East Coast major cities, the Rust Belt, and deep South. The more Progressive and Leftist an area is, the more likely people there won't be draftable mostly because they're unhealthy retards.

    Do Dems want a repeat of 1968? Best DNC convention in history, but, the election didn't quite pan out for them...
