Question Everything

Pro-draft is pro-war. Our goal should be to abolish the miltary, not force everyone to join. That will just make the military bigger and, if it lasts, stronger. In real life, the elite are always excluded from the draft even when they officially aren't and that will be the case with this draft (if it comes to pass), too. The idea that the existence of the draft will stop US wars of aggression is false. It didn't work for the gazillion wars the US waged prior to Vietnam, or all the many wars other countries with drafts have waged. The idea that colonial wars can't be fought by drafted armies is a myth. It is the elite that decides to go to war, not the general population.
