"Do you think the situation requires us to put every single male and female citizen 18-20 in the military? Do you think dumping millions of green kids on them would help or would it distract the military from it's primary duty."

It is an anti-military ruse. This is even as Rengal promoted it. His thinking is that if you force people who are not inclined to volunteer, you will also be forcing a rebellion against military objectives by those who would otherwise be uncommitted either way.

If or when our situation requires such a universal commitment by 18-20 year olds, it should require something of equal substantial consequence of the rest of us. Until or unless we reach that point, I will stand totally against the draft.
