Draft Proposal Response

I disagree with you Professor Tim. I don't think reinstating the draft would be fair. In class, you seem to sway towards the idea that these horrible recruiters are using agressive tactics and deceiving promises to lure young men and women who are disadvantaged into joining the military. Sure, they may be annoying, but they're just doing their job and actually saving the people who don't want to go to war. I'm certain that the people who choose to serve know the consequences they might have to face upon joining the military, but overall, they feel like the benefits outweigh the negative factors. I think the Student Privacy Act should be destroyed because the many people who are unaware and would be interested in serving for the military are robbed of this opportunity because parents are afraid they'll lose their children in war. There is already a scarcity of soldiers as is. The more recruiters go out to find potential soldiers, the less chance a reinstated draft will take place. After all, these people who make sacrifices for our nation make that CHOICE...they aren't FORCED to do so no matter how hard recruiters try to persuade them. I would be infuriated if students who are starting college, and on the path to academic success, or even fathers or husbands who have no intentions on being a part of the war whatsoever, are drafted when there are so many other potential people who would be interested in serving the country. I don't care what anyone else thinks...I say recruiters are doing a great job!
