Quaker Dave, the Quaker Agitator, wrote an excellent post this week about why progressives should not advocate for reinstatement of military conscription, and why instead, we should all be out there actively opposing the next war (and the next and the next ...) I hope you will go and read it.
War is not only immoral and ineffective, it is stupid. Its main function is to line the pockets of profiteers. We don't need to become apologists for any war. Better to keep all young people safe.

Some people think reinstating the draft would get the middle class to rise up in opposition to the war, but I think QD was right when he said it would just provide more bodies to fuel this and future wars. Depriving the war machine of cannon fodder seems a better method to avoid more wars.
Thanks for the linky love, buddy.
Amen.
