I'm all for the draft, so long as there are NO exemptions for the sons
of wealthy rightwingers. Every male out of high school, eligible for the
draft. No college hall pass.

The more sones of rightwing warmongers coming home in body bags, the
better chance there will be that wiser heads will prevail and we'll come
to the realization that warmongering ain't he answer.

I'm not hoping for lots of body bags, but I agree that a draft should be
'without' exemptions that are in any way class related. I can see exemptions for
married persons with children.

Of course, females should be included in the draft also.

Lastly, the ability to pass an entrance exam should not be a requirement. That
will let the high school dropouts and non-English speakers qualify.
