Draft? I don't know.
Raising your hand and swearing to "serve, protect and defend" proves that this country means something to the person that raised his or her hand. I personally would never vote for someone who had not proven to me that he or she had an allegiance to this great country. No one who refused to serve should ever be allowed to hold an elected office here. If they refused to serve or consciously avoided that service they should have no right to draw any of my tax dollars.
Recently we had a President who defied the draft when we had a draft in the armed forces of this country and he was elected to become the Commander and Chief of the very forces that he would have served with. He even refused to show any respect for those servicemen when he would not return their salute.
Draft if this country needs help. Have those that we elected decide if this country is in need of conscripted services.
Don't refuse to permit your ability to provide that help. Don't ask for or expect my vote if you do.
