The draft was first used for the US military during WWII. Many troops were needed so the president at the time, Lyndon B. Johnson, took all men 18 and over to serve in the military. Afterwards, the draft was not needed since the US had no severe conflicts. Now in today’s world, the US and the Middle East are in heavy conflict. The author believes the draft should be brought back because it would help the nation’s economy and efficiency.

To begin, the draft would lower the nation’s military spending. The military puts a lot of money into paychecks and new equipment as well as trying to encourage people to enlist. “The government currently spends a lot of money trying to get people to enlist” (Laich par. 10). If the draft were to be reinstated, then the money put into trying to get people to enlist would be saved and used to fund better options. Another reason the draft would help the economy is the cost and efficiency. “Doing so would be more efficient and less expensive for the nation” (Laich par. 11). With the efficiency and cost of the draft, the nation would have more people in the military and more money for spending and be more efficient in the number of troops for deployment. The other side would counter this claim by saying how young people could develop mental issues and become substance abusers. To refute this claim, people “experience post-traumatic stress disorder” and abuse drugs and alcohol from repeated deployments. The draft would only have the person do one deployment or a few more if needed; not one after another to the point where it gets tough for the person to cope with such pressure and stress. In the end, the draft should be brought back to reduce military spending and increase the efficiency of our military.

The draft has been a tool used by the US Military since the start of World War II. Since then, many young men have been sent off to wars that they did not want to fight, and many of them died while protecting the country that they were forced to serve. Since the wars over in the Middle East have been going on, there has been talk on reinstating the draft, but a few of the reasons why they shouldn’t is that is a violation of human rights and that sending people off to war could lead to weakening the strike force.

Forcing people to fight or just do things that they don’t want to is a violation of their human rights. “No one should be forced by the government to work in a job they don’t want” (Paul p12). As stated by the Constitution of the United States, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The draft is in violation of those human rights that the people are given. Sending them off to do something they don’t want to do is violating the right to peaceably assemble. If they wanted to sign up for the war they would peacefully sign up, but to force them stops them from doing so. Although some others believe that reinstating the draft would allow all citizens to serve for their country, they are not addressing the fact that many Americans don’t want to serve in a war that could easily get them killed.

Along with it being a violation of rights, with randomly picking people to fight, there would be many different opinions on war, which could lower the force at which the US military strikes at. The draft sends young people to war, many of which have no experience with firearms, and are taught to use them within weeks, but “how effective would a fighting force be if it were made up of individuals who had no interest in being there.” (Paul p15) Sending people with little to no motivation would greatly weaken the strike force and could lead to great loss. It could also lead to traitorous actions due to many American citizens still holding loyalty to the place they were born, and that would make problems if they had to fight against them. But, some other may think that the draft would be able to have soldiers on the ready, many of them may not be ready mentally to go in and kill people.

Overall, bringing back the draft would violate people's rights and could lead to a weaker military. It could also lead to outbreaks in the country, such as revolting against the government,  and loss of population due to people moving away not wanting to fight.

Military members fight for our country time and time again again, deploying and redeploying but what if they didn't have to keep risking their lives. The draft provides more men and women to fight for our country and would lessen the workload for soldiers. Our volunteer military relies on low income americans to protect our country with the draft that would change. Redeploying into a battlefield can inclit physical and mental tolls like ptsd, drinking problem even drug abuse.

Low income americans can struggle in life and the military may be the only option “the system is unfair because it relies on low income americans” ( source 2 par 8). We rely on people who live in unfavorable conditions to protect our nation because of a volunteer force without that men and women from all backgrounds would protect us and a greater bond would be established

Many soldiers have been deployed and away from loved ones many times “ The military has been forced to deploy many of the same troops leading to some experiencing negative health problems”(source 2 par 9). the draft could fix that reinstating it could lessen the tolls on our soldiers and overall make a better military and a better nation.

Some people say “we own our bodies and shouldn't be forced to serve in our military”.  Well that's unfair to everyone who has to join the military and who risks their lives everyday and the people who are forced to serve that shoulder the risks and bear the sacrifice. If we induct the draft again we would have a balanced military creating a fairer and more efficient military force

Should the Draft Come Back No, the draft shouldnt come back because it’s inhumane and isn’t effective.you should’nt force someone to do a job, It’s like slavery. ”no one should be forced by the government to do a job they don’t want to do.” (paul par. 13). If you are forcing someone to work it’s a breach of human rights and inhumane.	Also if the draft is against willt they won’t work well and productively. “How effective would a fighting force be if it was made up of individuals who didn’t want to be there” (Paul par. 15). If they are just there against there will they probably wont have the courage or will to actually preform in a combat senario and retreat. 	The people pushing for the draft say it brings more members, without the draft it forces the same troops to deploy over and over again, and normal enlistment brings only the poor. Even though it does bring more people it is against there will and inhumane to force people to risk there life. The people who need to deploy over and over decided to work there. And it actually overs more opertunities to the poor.

The United States Should not Reinstate the Draft System

Yet again the country enters yet another war and more troops are needed. An innocent, well performing, studious young adult with full potential is called by the draft to enter the war front. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, this is the American dream, and what the citizens under the draft system get is quite the opposite. The system directly inflicts limitations on the rights and opportunities of the citizens under its rein.

Initially, the rights and opportunities of the citizens underneath the draft system are exponentially decreased. When a male in the United States turns 18, they are required to “register for the draft” (Paul par.14). All this does however is, confine the opportunity of success in a different industry and personal career growth in order to better protect the nation. Furthermore, women are currently not allowed to participate in the draft requirement and “do the same” as the men (Paul par.14). While Congress may be debating a change currently, it is not yet complete and the injustice continues. The draft system does not treat women and men equally which further defines rights to equality. The draft system supporters may argue that with the volunteering system “low income Americans” are subject to being forced into the military (Laich par.8). However, without the volunteer militia many of these people would not have jobs at all, and with the draft system they might have less of a chance to obtain these military positions.

The draft system all in all causes violations of rights and opportunities. Whether it be a young male being forced into military action and losing their chance for career growth or a women not being treated with equality rights within the draft system, all the draft system causes is the loss of personal virtue. Perhaps in the future the military system will evolve into an all inclusive and fair process.

Many people think we should bring back the draft due to the decrease of people in the military, however I don’t think we should. Volunteers in the military today have a good work ethic because they signed up to be there, people that are forced there wouldn’t have as good a work ethic though. The reasons the U.S. should not bring back the Draft is due to people having rights and that they shouldn’t be forced to join the military because we are said to be free in America.

Citizens have rights that should exclude us from things like the military. In other words, “Some opponents say that forcing people to join the military would violate their rights.” (United states, Par. 5). While people were forced to join back in the day, nowadays we shouldn’t have to because in america we are free and forcing us to join the military would oppose that idea of being free.  In the article, “...Volunteers make better soldiers than people who don’t really want to serve.” (United states, Par. 5). Moreover, making people join would increase the number of troops but the citizens that were forced to join wouldn’t want to work and would do less work, because they wouldn’t want to be there.

People shouldn’t be forced to join the military due to how we shouldn’t have to work for the government if we don’t want to. In the text, “...who owns our bodies, our time, and our lives. If the answer is not ourselves, then we are essentially slaves.” (Paul, Par. 12). Making us join would take away our freedom and we would technically be slaves. Some people think we should bring back drafting because “bringing back the draft would allow the military to quickly pull in additional troops when neccesary.” (Laich, Par. 9). While this seems good those troops wouldn’t want to work and would therefore not matter as much. In short, The U.S. government shouldn’t bring back drafting because of Americans rights excluding them from the military and shouldn’t be forced to join the military.

The U.S. Draft Shouldn’t be Brought Back

There is a debate about whether or not the U.S. should bring back the draft. The draft forces people in their 20s to serve in the armed forces if it is ever needed. The U.S. shouldn’t bring back the draft because it is against fundamental rights and lowers the quality of the armed forces.

Former U.S. Congressman Ron Paul believes that “making people join the military against their will is a violation of their rights” (Paul par. 14). . As well, military leaders know “that our current all-volunteer force is more highly trained and professional than draftees would be” (Paul par. 15) and oppose the draft because of this.This shows that military leaders admit that the draft would lower the quality of the armed forces but increase the amount, and many people would agree with this theory that quality is better than quantity and disagree with the draft. Retired Major General Dennis Laich says that “The system is fundamentally unfair” (Laich par. 8); however, morally there is no true definition to fair and there is no way to determine what is and isn’t fair, which brings Major General Laich’s reliability into question since he depends his argument on what is and isn’t fair. To sum up if a draft was enforced, rights would be violated and quality would decrease, and there is no good reasoning for a draft, so there no good reason for it.
