>>> A general draft in wartime is the moral thing to do. << Can you explain what you mean by "moral"? I would say myself if that the survival of the country is at stake, and therefore the survival, or at least freedom, of the individual draftee, that it is "moral." If it's just "wartime" defined by a few dozen people in power, a draft is horribly immoral. The current army enlisted to be soldiers of their own free choice and it is their duty to take orders and fight. The Congress has never declared war. Therefore wartime as defined under our constitution does not exist. In the most justified and most clearly definitive American war, the Revolutionary War, there was no draft. We are not in "wartime." We are in the midst of a confused military adventure created using deception.
