The military definitely gives a person character. Are you in favor of just men, or do we include the women also? Today it is very easy to get out of the military where before it resulted in less than an honorable discharge. Do we close those gaps also? 

I think it should be reinststed or try to get out of afganistan. these people have more a chance to be hurt wiyh increased  tours of duty.

What can I say , Ed, Flip, Ann  all great opinions.  I  asked that ques. last yr. some time and also got great feed back.  Personally I think   (reinstating the draft) would send all the young worthless think the world owes them a living  crybabies into a frenzy. Just Sayin

YES, all young Americans should serve at least two years in the armed forces.

Worst thing they ever did was abolish the draft.

EVERYONE should burden the costs and sacrifices of our nations wars.

Yes i agree it should be reinstated, personally i never served , but now wish i did, without doubt you can tell a person who served just by their demeanor as well as their character, I know in some countries it's mandatory to to join the service when you'r fresh out of high school so why not the usa, i think it would put a lot of misguided souls on the right track towards what' s morally right as well as give them a vocation they can use for the rest of their lives...

I always regretted not being allowed to serve due to a medical deferment also.

Yes, if not in the Military then in border control or emergency clean up and aid, would build character.

Thats right all,   two yrs is a small price to pay to ensure all americans our  freedom. I did my time  like many of you. 68-70

The US military has said that there is no need for the draft as they get enough volunteers. Due to Obama's budget cuts, the military is set to be downsized. There will be no room for any more service people whether they be by volunteer or the draft.

NO.

The draft should be reinstated for both young men and women.
