If the draft was brought back, just think how many people more people could wear that shirt. And how many less would have to be sent on three or four combat tours.

So right you are Walt but I feel that there would be a line at the Canadian border to get in by all the cowards that would avoid the draft.

Perhaps Canada could refuse them entry. I still think at least 2 years of some National Service should be required from everybody (with very few reasons to get out of it allowed. I joined to avoid the draft (1971) My number was coming up and the county hadn't gotten enough enlistments to cover their quota. Retired from it in '94.

I myself was a volunteer during Korea but do believe in the draft. With things today that would also mean women should be drafted....Rich

And within those 2 years of national service, there could be a layer of embedded technical or vocational training that would count towards the "2 year technical degrees" that were being talked about last night during the state of the union address.
A universal, 2-year national service program would obviously cost a lot of money but by directing service work towards projects that we are going to be paying for anyway (infrastructure, healthcare, new technology, etc..) it would be a very economical use of resources and if there were vocational/technical training hours that went along with that it would be more savings. Example: A high school graduate goes into a 2-year national service program and when he is done with that service he may already have the equivalent of 1 year of vocational/technical school education under his/her belt.
