re: How high should it be set? Everyone has their own standard.

My Dad was a doctor, one kid and one on the way, very comfortable life, and enlisted in the week after Pearl Harbor. As did almost everybody that could. Why don't you see mass enlistments for the Iraq "war"? Why don't you see a patriotic sacrifice for the "war on terror"? Why don't you see a draft if it's a real war? Why didn't you enlist, like my Dad did?

re: Of course, with a draft, you're always going to be sending someone into a battle he or she never agreed to in the first place. Would it force the decision bar higher? I would argue the opposite, that it LOWERS the bar.

You "would" argue it but you didn't. Don't be cryptic make your point if you have one.
