If Given A Choice Between A DRAFT And ECONOMIC SLAVERY...
I would choose a DRAFT.
At least with a DRAFT, war will be a LAST RESORT; not a pre-emptive experiment using expendable lives.
Those with choices WILL REFUSE to fight in WAR; unless it's ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
The 13th Amendment of our Constitution PROHIBITS involuntary servitude. THEY CANNOT FORCE US to be AGGRESSORS;
No one needs to be forced to defend themselves. So, they will HAVE TO make a STRONG case for war; or fight themselves.
As it is, the government PREYS on those whose only other choice is to remain a civilian in POVERTY;
because the government isn't in the business of financing LIFE; just WAR;
these people have NO meaningful CHOICE.
This is ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION at its WORST.
It is CRUEL AND MURDEROUS to force people to choose between needlessly killing other human beings and needlessly dying in POVERTY.
This must stop.
At least a DRAFT will make it painfully clear who the REAL ENEMY is.

I would add to the draft that the first people to go would be those who are pushing for war the most, and that they also be the first and always on the front lines, so that they don't cowardly run away from what they so "wholeheartedly" advise!
Guess how many wars would that bring us in the future!
Good luck seeing Bush, Powell, Rice, and other scum (like those maniacal televangelists) fighting on the frontlines of the wars they are so much pushing for!
Draft wun stop wars. Military training will simply just condition a lot of people for war. Most people are sheep anyway. Only the few will be able to withstand the process.
To win this you have to use the same tactics being used. Stop reasoning with sheep. Treat sheep as sheep and not man.
Next, a draft will always end up putting the poor at the forefront. The rich will always get posted to the rear.
I have seen the enemy...and, sadly, it is us. :(

Hi Sara! Thanks for stopping by!
You're right! sadly, the enemy is us--in a way.
But, it doesn't have to be--if we exercise the few choices we have wisely and with other people in mind.
NO MAN is an island unto himself.
We MUST care about each other, if we are to survive as a species.
Truth! 10 of Clubs! Thanks for contributing to the discussion!
Truth, you're absolutely right; force the instigators to fight, and we'll have NO MORE WARS!
--------------------
10 of Clubs, I see your point; except I am not advocating anyone agree to military training; let them force us--IF they CAN!
As for people being sheep, well, people behave the way they learn and are directed to behave.
But, no matter what the directors do, they cannot unprogram the seed of the human spirit which forever longs to be FREE!
