It's Time To Bring Back the Draft

[tekisui]

With a new generation of mercenaries heading for Afghanistan along with a 21,000 troop surge(so far) as well, we need to bring back the draft to end these endless wars for profit.

If we can't fight our wars with the US soldiers we have, we should draft the men and women instead of contracting the tasks out to war-profiteering corporations who engage in fraud, waste and abuse. We shouldn't take our soldiers being served dirty water and risk electrocution in shower at a swollen cost to us. And, we shouldn't be expanding the practice of outsourcing our wars into the Afghanistan quagmire.

A draft would also put more people's skin in the game, and shut down the endless wars. If the upper-class had to face sending their children away, only for them to return in a box or with a life long mental illness, more would be done to end these wars. The only way to wake people up is for them to be directly affected.

Bring Back the Draft.
