| The simple answer is that we do not need a draft. There is no shortage of patriotic Americans who would enlist if America was attacked. After 9/11, enlistments went way up. If on the other hand a reckless president launches a needless war that quickly sinks into a bloody quagmire, then perhaps enlistment should fall off.
If there is any area in which a person should have a choice it should be in whether or not he or she will fight and die for a cause. Too many draftees died in Vietnam and for what?
