Once there, read several of the Op-Ed articles about military drafts. 

There are 2667 articles, find a few you want to read. 

After reading these articles and "On the Rainy River" WRITE a ONE page, double spaced paper that considers the following: What is O'Brien's attitude toward the war and the draft? Who does he feel should be drafted? What are the opinions of others regarding the military draft? What are some of the arguments that are made within the Op-Ed's? What are your thoughts about national service, who should serve, and how? If there existed a national service that did not involve combat, would you be willing to join? Why or why not? 

BE SURE TO PROPERLY CITE THE OP-ED ARTICLE(S) THAT YOU READ!
