I’m in favor of mandatory military service with almost no exceptions. My rationale is it would make conflict wildly unpopular if everyone had friends and family who would be directly affected.
I encourage everyone to join, but I don’t think it should be mandatory because it is most definitely not for everyone. I also support the draft and I believe that women should also be compelled to register.
Yeah it worked so well during the draft, it sure changed a lot of people’s minds… Wait did it?
Like, i w as being sarcastic but… Don’t think it really changed most people’s minds. It’s like abortion - everyone against abortion has their hypocritical - The only reasonable abortion is my abortion rule.
I’m sure there’s got to be actual studies that were done backed during the American draft and probably in like current day S Korea and such places that have mandatory military service
I’d argue that the Vietnam draft did have a huge impact on the public reaction to the war. I think one of the reasons it didn’t have immediate political results is because affluent people (the kids of politicians) had many ways to avoid service, ie college or well known health excuses. I think if those loopholes were not in place the wide public backlash we saw would have been followed quickly by real political results.
Obviously this is speculation, but there’s logic in there.
