A Military Draft Inches Closer
After Vietnam, it seemed like the draft
could never come back.
So, I expect more and more rumblings about a draft (perhaps under the rubric of "national service") from the left and right wings of the War Party. It is a slow campaign to soften up public opinion. The downside, as far as the imperialists are concerned, will be that, when the middle class sees its sons and daughters involuntarily hauled off to fight in Africa or Asia, those potential draftees will march in the streets as they did during the Vietnam War. But, by then it may be too late.
