56. NO! Conscription is bad enough, but a polically motivated one?
Good grief! Are there no limits on what some people will suggest just to make a political point? A draft is bad enough as it is: conscription. Slavery. Propose conscription to score political brownie points?! Right now, those who don't support the war can protest all they want. People who want a draft for political reasons would draft anti-war protesters and put them in the military? How is that useful to to the military as a fighting force and how is this right to the people who don't believe in using force? It's wrong for both! To suggest such a thing just to make political hay is beyond crass! Shame on Rangle for suggesting such a despicable thing. Shame on those people who would inslave young men just to advance their own political agenda.
