I served in '70/'71 (Vietnam/Cambodia) The pathetic draft back then just made for a "poor boy's Army". If they do it again they better get it right and include EVERY MALE when 19 yrs. College can wait til AFTER service. There's a slot in the military for every one reguardless of restrictions. It will NEVER fly now-a-days. A good 50% of 19 yr. olds have so little respect for the law (or Uncle Sam) they would never show up. If they did get them in basic , they would just go AWOL and we would spend millions chasing after them.If we caught them and put them in jail , it would more than likely be an upgrade in their standard of living where they came from. Like Dylan said "if ya ain't got nothin , ya ain't got nothin ta lose" This country can't even enforce, effectively, 25% of the present laws , and we think we can institute a draft? No there won't be any '60,s protests , they just won't show! And once the "patriotic" 50% see that , they won't either.
