More on the Draft

Frank Speiser has a good article about the draft on LewRockwell.com.

Essentially, the problem with those who advocate a draft for the purpose of expanding the aniwar movement is that they are trying to convert people who are pro-war by HOLDING THEIR CHILDREN HOSTAGE.

This point was made previously, in Counterpunch, I believe (but I haven't been able to find the article, I'm afraid).

In any case, to advocate something as distasteful as a draft in order to prove a political point is highly immoral (unless, of course, it is done hypothetically in an argument for illustrative purposes; arguing that a draft would call people to account is one thing; to suggest it should actually be done is quite another).

That is all.
