Do you think there should be a mandatory draft during wartime?

Question

Support your argument.

Answer 1

I believe if a conflict calls for a draft, yes there should be one. That's why there is Selective Service and it is the duty of an able-bodied man to fight for his freedom if he is called to do so.

The volunteer service we have now is so superb because there are people who WANT to be in the military and in many cases make a career out of it. As in World War II, with a draft you would face an uphill battle in getting ordinary citizens trained for infantry.

I'm not a tactical expert, but perhaps how wars are fought now a draft would be obsolete. Precision air strikes, cruise missiles and nuclear weapons in many cases would eliminate the need for man to man combat.

Just my two cents.

Answer 2

I believe there should be a mandatory draft all the time with all people going into the service and I mean all not just the poor. The main reason there ain't one now is we as a country are broke. All Israelis and all Swiss citizens are required to join as well as numerous other countries. Yes I said Switzerland. Not only do they join they stay joined all there lives and have mandatory practice especially in using rifles.The good it would do this country is enormous

Answer 3

I think there should be a mandatory draft all the time.

We have way too many youths with really bad discipline problems and they aren't going to get anywhere else but the military. The government has turned the youth of today into thugs and that's not a good thing at all even though some seem to think it is.

Answer 4

I don't think there should be a draft at all.

Personally, I don't even think that soldiers should be doing the fighting. See, it is the "leaders" of the counties that go to war, but yet it is the soldiers that lose their lives? What I think we should do is place the leaders from the two (or more) countries into a room, give them those small souvenir baseball bats, and let them beat each other to death. The one(s) that survive are then the winner. This will spare the lives of the soldiers, the grief of their families, and I am most certain it would lessen the number of wars fought. If the leaders had to fight their own wars, they might try to actually find peaceful means to solve their issues, and use war only as a last resort.

But that is merely the opinion of one woman in the Midwest.

Answer 5

Yes. It assures everyone that there will be enough to do the job.

The act of going to war should be based on an imminent threat of such proportion that it must be considered and only after honest diplomacy has failed. It should also occur only with a fully informed country that backs the action. To do otherwise is a disservice to the citizens of the country.

When war is necessary, if the country is nonnuclear or minorly nuclear, then you commit everything that you can and hit with such force that it is a short war, followed with a overwhelming police action that a viable resistance cannot be sustained. You then put the people to work to rebuild their country and do not outsource it.

Answer 6

I only believe there should be a mandatory war draft if the people in congress are willing to enter their oldest son or daughter in the draft. That way we know that the draft would be needed, not just wanted to get more money for congress men or women. If they used this style for the draft all wars would have a pretty high public approval rating unlike Iraq today.

Answer 7

needed protection tension provider skill all of a undeniable team might desire to server in the protection tension. to illustrate, all men in Turkey and South Korea have a minimum volume of time they might desire to serve. there is no draft, it truly is all of that team. A draft is whilst a undeniable sort of a team are referred to as up, oftentimes in a random vogue with something like a lottery. some form of equipment is used to go with who gets positioned into protection tension provider. yet another term you probably did no longer have on your checklist is impressment. it truly is the place "recruiters" only flow out and seize human beings and positioned them in the protection tension. Conscription is a widespread term that applies to all of those.

Answer 8

nope, recruiting quotas are being met. we have enough brave souls in this country that want to protect the world from tyrants not to institue a draft.

that crap about sending yuor eldeast son to fight if you vote for the war is full BS and quite unamerican

Answer 9

Every Democrat thinks that is only fare!

Answer 10

Only for Republicans when they started the war with LIES
