Ayn Rand had it right on this score, about the military draft. Yes, perhaps a bunch of spoiled brat left wingers SHOULD get pushed into some sore of military service to straighten their Nazi heads out. But it violates the Constitution. Specifically, it violates the 5 Amendment. (Putting a person in harm's way, possibly death, without due process.)
That's the CONSTITUTIONAL case against the military draft. The REAGAN case says that the draft has NEVER worked, every time it has been tried. The Military needs committed young patriots willing to travel to the ends of the earth and put their own lives on the line for America (something this country has never lacked). The WORST thing to do would be to force a bunch of idiots into that same military and infect it with their childish ignorance and bullshit.

@Reason10 The draft was not effective during Vietnam, but it worked pretty good during WW1 and WW2.

@DallasCowboysFan The world was much different in those days. Today, the world does not want a modern war, because it means the end of human life on earth, ALL human life.
In America, the military does not lack for volunteers. There are brave young men and women who are patriotic and will put their lives on the line for the country, (just like the police do every day.)
Of course, the ragheads wage acts of terrorism as they try to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth. At some point, Israel is going to have to just LEVEL Iran and Iraq, and whatever other banana/turban republic there is.
