I still don't want to see us go back to draftees,

Neither do most 18 years. But don't worry, I doubt neither you, nor I will see mandatory national service (and not a selective military draft), ever come to pass in our lives. But personally speaking, I believe the draft was very unfair since there were so many deferrments available to those who could afford them.

But I still believe it's a great idea, which would eliminate many of the perceived social injustices in society, since everyone would be able to share a common experience upon embarking on adulthood.
