The Dems are calling for a draft NOT to get more poor kids and minority kids in the military. It's precisely because they think that the only serving that they want to spread the burden a bit. Not that it makes me anymore inclined to support it, but...I think it was important to clarify that their position is more a poke at the fact that we're sending off the kids of people who are considered marginal losers in the economy, so that the kids of people who benefit from the current administration, can go to college and assume their positions at the helm of the hierarchy.
Not my position, theirs.
That said, draft whoever you want. I can't be drafted.
