Draft - Good or Bad

My grandfather was drafted and served in WWI. He was married when drafted. He was 30 years old when drafted. He was the father of five when drafted. He had a college education (but no degree) from Stanford when drafted. Anyone who denies the draft constitutes involuntary servitude believes in enslaving others for their own benefit.

 

The draft will likely be unnecessary for the foreseeable future. Today's military requires highly trained people, not cannon fodder. The military technology with which we have equipped our nation requires comparatively few people to operate.

In the event of an existential threat to the nation, for instance, a literal invasion where our technology has been disabled, the military will be overwhelmed with volunteers and scarce resources for appropriate basic training.

 

The bible teaches it is better to be free than slave. Thus the draft is unbiblical. And how does the system actually work? The honest people with integrity do not dodge the draft and their names end up on a memorial. But the dishonest, those lacking integrity dodge the draft while benefiting from the sacrifice imposed on others. It is an evil system, where those who think of themselves as part of the ruling class, write laws that do not apply to themselves, but do apply to others, especially the poor, the less educated, and of course Blacks, and Hispanics.

 

The draft is why this nation is a crap hole today. The leftistists stayed in college and became professors. The Patriots went to NAM. Those draft dodgers, and their disciples, now dominate the education system.

 

Notice I said their "disciples".

 

Raising and supporting our defense does not mean the draft is not involuntary servitude. Yes, SCOTUS has ruled that the draft is constitutional but that ruling rewrites the meaning of words.

 

I must give it to the Air Force on this one: If a war is important enough to use 100 divisions, why not use nuclear weapons?
