What is your opinion of military conscription and the draft in the United States?

Asked by Dansedescygnes (2881points) May 21st, 2009

Personally, I believe it is wrong and ridiculous. I do not agree with the concept of military conscription. That does not mean that I disagree with the military and it doesn’t mean I don’t respect many of the things they do, but I don’t want to fight in a war or be in the military. I brought this up because many of my male friends are already 18 and they’re getting letters in the mail about registering for Selective Service.

Not to mention it’s completely sexist.

And I strongly disagree with those who think that because I hate the draft that means I hate this country. False.
