Lately there has been much talk about a draft. Today I read an article from Walter Williams on why a draft is economically unjustified.
He tries to reduce a political issue to economic terms. Now, I agree all life has economic links, but when he says an all volunteer army is a better economic use of people's time than a draft.....
He is dancing around the point. The proponents of a draft feel this will incite the people to demand a quick end to the war and a more judicious use of the military. Right now it is too much "out of site, out of mind".
I believe that military families are paying a disproportionate price for this war, and the rest of us are just disinterested bystanders.
