Just build more robots & drones.
Wonder if the good LTG wants to draft the girls too (and no, I wouldn't support that).
What on earth is a “war czar” and where do I sign up?
No reason some should get to stay behind while the brave and the poor go do the fighting.
Great, just what we need, people beating war drums for a draft.
Someone should “ frag” his ass ! Opps-I’m sorry , I thought he was talking about Vietnam !
Absolutely NOT - we don’t need a military full of people that don’t want to be there. We want a military full of people that have voluntarily joined and are willing to fight for their country and for the freedom of its’ inhabitants.
1. A draft would have to include both males and females. Gays would have to be included or everybody who didn’t want to be drafted would just say they were gay.
2. The left wants a draft so bad they can just about taste it. They live for the exciting days of the 60’s. Draft riots, burning draft cards, chanting students on every college campus, nightly news coverage of police beating back rioters. Oh yeah, the left would love to bring back the draft.
I have nothing against the many draftees who would serve honorably.
I have everything against the rotten apples who would consume their leaders time with BS.

First, you would have to solve the problem of who gets drafted, and by that I mean do you draft females, students, people with children, people with minor justice system problems, people with low IQ’s (what we used to call “Cat 2, Cat 3” etc. There are pro and con positions on all those groups/situations and this is not 1969, so the same rules would not apply.
Secondly, even if a draft happened Saturday morning, the facilities and the support/training structure no longer exist to any large extent. It would take months, even in the face of a national emergency. It is not good to contemplate the time it would take to train troops. Registration for 18 year-old males may make some people feel better, but it means largely nothing.
On a personal note, having served, I would not want to serve with anyone who was conscripted.
How many times I gotta say it? The Reagan era buildup proved that we can a military twice the size of today’s without a draft. You’d think these guys with stars on their shoulders would be aware of this.
Fine, consider it, carefully. In most cases, it should be dismissed. In some limited cases, you could make an argument for it.
“Military draft should be considered”
I agree, but it’s not going to happen.
“US WAR CZAR”
what the heck?
These titles are getting more strange by the year.
No it shouldn’t. We do not need a draft. The army already has enough problems with young recruits thinking the US Army is a social welfare program.
That said, a draft would probably have at least 25% physically unfit. Too many DUers sit in mommy's basement eating pizza.
Before we commit more young people to the war effort in Iraq, we need to rid the government of the people who see the military as a huge social engineering laboratory.
Having posted that, if anything else happens we will not have a choice but draft our young. God help us! Our government has never been more elitist or corrupt than it is now.
Shouldn’t need a draft. Boys should become men and understand what is at stake here...
