If the government can take over the life of a person who has committed no crime, this is akin to slavery.

Letter by Roy Miller of Phoenix
Our penchant for fairness is running amok. This is lately expressed in the form of proposals to draft women. A much better idea would be to abolish the draft completely.
If the government can take over the life of a person who has committed no crime, this is akin to slavery.
The United States should not enter any war that its citizens are unwilling to fight. If we did not have the draft during the Vietnam War, it would likely have ended much earlier and thousands of American lives would have been spared.
Let’s make sure that we have no more unpopular wars and, at the same time, ensure that we do not enslave American citizens, men or women.
