Letter: Restart The Draft
I have watched with interest all of the politicians who are against the nuclear deal with Iran. Since some of them are calling for war with Iran, here is what I propose. Start the draft again. No deferments. Special clause requiring that all children of members of Congress be drafted first, both male and female. With the volunteer military, we seem to forget the sacrifices our service personnel make. In the 1960s, everyone knew someone in the military; that is not true today. I would like to try diplomacy first; war should always be the last option. But if it is war, I want all congressional children leading the charge/ David Hodin , Loon Lake, Wash., letter to SR.
Question: Is there any scenario in which you’d be OK with reinstituting the draft?
