JF, It's a natural political check and balance.

So you're willing to see fellow anti-war citizens get conscripted and sent to the front lines just to make a political point?

I'm sorry, but reinstating the draft just for this purpose is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard. The Founding Fathers made a civilian the Commander-In-Chief for a good reason. If you think said civilian is being no more than a "chicken hawk," you are free to protest, petition, and/or elect him out of office. But to force average citizens, including those who agree with your anti-war views, to die just to prove how horrible war is, well, that to me is another form of "chicken hawk."

Now I know your goal is to try and make war a more unappealing option, but this definitely isn't the way to do it. People who are against the war AND against the draft will die, and the people in power will still pull strings to get their own loved ones away from the front lines.
