Topic: Will there be a draft?

Lupos · September 9th, 2004

The quality of a single service man or woman has increased so much since the time of the draft that we do not need it. Even as our KIAs in Iraq reach 1000 (though it is still very sad news all the same) the number is rediculously low for war only 50 years ago. Tens of thousands of American servicemen died in Korea in the same amount of time that 1000 died in Iraq. Trust me, the draft is not coming back. Along with the Quality of Fighters, Medical technology has advanced so far in just ten years that wounds that would be fatal in Kuwait in the early 90s can be fixed nowadays. This only reinforces the fact that we will not need a draft again in the future.
