Unjust war(s) is not the outcome of the draft. Two different issues here. While it is not necessary to draft today, it is necessary to stop unjust war(s).
First, the US military opposes the draft. Why? Having people who want to be in the military is a whole lot less hassle. They buy into and conform to the structure of the services willingly. If they don't, their contract is terminated. Makes going to war simpler.
We have the all volunteer military which is not representative of the nation's demographics. That is dangerous. They are a culture apart. They defend the culture by all means necessary. It is not easy being green.
War,declared/undeclared/conventional/unconventional,is an extension of diplomacy. Usually failed diplomacy. It is the last option any nation should want to take. We have BushCheney. Iraq is an unjust war.
Now just what do you want to do to stop it? Scare the begesus out of folks and put the draft into operation? It will get you air/blog time. Every MOM in america knows about this
and it will be a very cold day in hell before my...enter name of son or daughter..goes!
Now,volunteering is a whole different animal. Happy Thanksgiving.
