I would be more agreeable to mandatory military service for everyone, but the rich and well connected would be able to avoid it.



Interested to hear why you think the draft did or didn't work well during Vietnam


You’re kidding right ? It tore the country apart.

Don't want to start arguing....just young men from 18 to 22 were in a better position back than now.....I think.....

President Donald Trump did not dodge the draft. Even liberal supporter Snopes, after intensive investigation, found no evidence that anything illegal or improper was done to prevent Trump from serving.

https://www.snopes.com/news/2016/08/02/donald-trumps-draft-deferments

From Snopes:

"While attending the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton School of Finance, Mr. Trump received a minor medical deferment for bone spurs on both heels of his feet. The medical deferment was expected to be short-term and he was therefore entered in the military draft lottery, where he received an extremely high number, 356 out of 365."

His high draft number was never chosen, but it could have been. He was enrolled in the draft as he was supposed to be. He did not dodge the draft. He just was not chosen.

Bozo dont like facts.Especialy ones about his own country Pakistanada.

Are you just lashing out because you miss your flaming Prime Minister? You can still be his penpal you know. His stepping down won't affect your "personal" relationship. Cuddle your life size Trudeau doll at bedtime and it will all be better by morning.

Americans are held hostage by Hamas and you get drafted to go help deliver aid to Palestinians. Hard pass.

It's been reported that 80 percent of our youth aren't physically fit to join the military.

Big hurdle in a draft.

Not arguing because I don't know but how fit do they need to be to wash dishes and dig latrines? With the declining health of kids today, there may be a need for different PT standards for different MOS.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I find this interesting, as Iseral has a draft system, that everyone serves two years! MALE and FEMALE!
They have a military that is hard to beat!
They have many of our constitutional laws they follow!
I find it interesting that it seems their crime rate is so much lower than here in the states.
Also the medical care is better than most countries, as they have more doctors per capita than other countries.

Their military is hard to beat because the they use the U.S like a pitbull. Not only does the U.S eliminate the militaries that pose a threat they also shovel money and technology to the Isralies.

The U.S has a high crime rate because one demographic groups commits a hugely disproportionate amount of violent crime.
