32. A good idea
I generally think there should be no draft on the ground that people will not go to war unless our freedom really is threatened for real if it is up to the individual whether or not he/she will serve in one.

Then in practice that may not work so well, as it may be easy to convince large groups of youth that our freedom is threatened when it is not.

But whoever is going to profit from the war should have the highest numbers, though that may be only fair if applied to themselves, because their children may have their own views and it wouldn't be fair to apply the parents views to their offspring.
