I think any draft will give people an alternative such as the peace corps |
|
Rangel's bill allows for those who don't want to fight this kind of out. Either go to Iraq or do a two year stint in the peace corps or americorps or something productive that is non-violent.
It's the only way a draft would fly with the country, I think.

1. Everytime I hear of forced servitude to country |
|
I think of Hitler Youth.
Once the precedent is set, the requirements could be changed at any time. How about, in order to prepare the young for enlistment in a fine adult organization, they are forced to participate in some patriotic after school group on a regular basis.
