Draft Raison D'Etre: Buying Brute Force For A Bargain Price.(ISSUES & INSIGHTS)(PERSPECTIVE)
Byline: ALAN REYNOLDS
Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska recently invited the country to debate reviving the military draft.
"Why shouldn't we ask all of our citizens to bear some responsibility and pay some price?" Hagel said.
But not all of our citizens are between the ages of 18 and 26, and it is those citizens in that age group and their families who would pay the entire price of involuntary servitude.
Before the Iraq War began, Rep. Charles Rangel introduced a bill to reinstate the draft. In a New York Times op-ed of Dec. 31, 2002, Rangel wrote, "If we are going to send our children to war, the governing principle must be that of shared sacrifice."
Personally, I'm offended by the collectivist notion that "our" children are national property to do with as "we" (the government) decides.
In any case, it is obvious nonsense when Rangel and Hagel pretend that people who cannot possibly be drafted will "share the sacrifice" with those who can be drafted. The draft falls only on those between the ages of 18 and 26 who are ineligible for the inevitable deferrals. Their families bear a secondary burden.
