If Congress revives the draft, Justin McCutcheon won't be happy.
"I really, really wouldn't want to go," the 18-year-old from Benton said.
Neither would any of the young men interviewed about the possibility of reviving the draft. In a random sample, not one said the draft is a policy they would welcome.
There has not been a draft since the Vietnam War. Yet some believe the government may be forced to bring it back, because troop levels in Iraq cannot be maintained otherwise.
http://morningsentinel.mainetoday.com/news/local/808013.shtmlI continue to express concern that many young people will just quietly go off to induction if there is a draft. They'll just go because the government says they have to go. And we'll hear a lot from the conservative Dr. Laura types about the need for young people to "respect authority". There is also a young man at the end of the article who seems to think he could just get a college deferment.
