hmaly,
re: So to prove a point, you want to send a bunch of baby faced recruits, who will have a hard time figuring out how to survive, into combat. And you think that will save lives????????? Are you nuts.
Yea, I want to take them out of their living room, give them a gun, and put them on a plane. Jeez.
Of course, like anyone that joins the military, draftees go through training. You must not have been around for Vietnam, eh?
As to a "dumbed down" military, you've got to figure that with a cross section of US citizens, you would get a smartened up military on average.
re: like you would the Michigan entrance exams
What are you talking about, I don't know anything about Michigan entrance exams?
re: so then I assume you want the seniors and the poor to pay more, so they quit using free medical services, which make the deficit bigger.
Not the poor, but I agree on the seniors. I think they should pay something for every doctor visit, which isn't true today. But that's a another subject, not remotely related to the draft. It's pretty strange that you brought it up in your post.
