The DraftEssay Preview: The DraftReport this essayThe draft is a very controversial topic in the United States. There are many people that are for it, and against it. The draft is known as the Selective Service System today. Young men between the ages of 18 and 25 are required to register so that the draft can be easily resumed at any time. As of right now the military is all volunteer but if there was ever a need for more people in it, then the draft would be brought back. I am against the military having a draft.
Many people find the draft to be unfair. One reason it has been called unfair is because many lower class people get drafted because the wealthy are able to find ways to get around it. One way people can get around it is to join the National Guard. People join because then it’s less likely that they will be sent overseas or be put into any dangerous situations. George W. Bush was said to have done this during the Vietnam War. Another way that people are able to get around it is if they have a medical reason.
I think that the draft is not needed because the army we have now is good enough to handle any problems. “We’ve proven over the years that even in the all-volunteer force, we can recruit and train sufficient numbers to meet almost any end-strength that our nation has set for us other than all-out world war” says Jim Carey, the chairman of the National Defense Committee. “And at a time in history when we have the largest and most effective armed force of any nation and are the only Super Power on the planet — why would anyone even think there is a need for a return to the military draft?” There are a lot of members in our military and there really is no need because if anything really bad happened we would be able to take our troops out of all the countries that they are stationed in all over the world to help out with whatever the threat may be.
Another reason I think that the draft should not be brought back is because it can interfere with our lives. Right now I am going to college and if I was to get drafted I would have to stop going to school and then attempt to try and continue school when I would come back. I feel that it would be hard for me to stop going to college and then try and go back to school after fighting in a war. All of my plans for my future would get messed up and I would probably have to try and find a new career to pursue. I am planning on pursuing a career with U.S. Customs and I am supposed to start a co-op program at the age of 19 and if I was to get drafted then I wouldn’t be able to join the program and then I wouldn’t be
l\u2019d. For me, this is the time where I will have to figure out where I wish to go and I am also thinking to get out of school and into other places. I donít have really a choice but to get back into law school and to get married then I will feel more like my father. I think I will have to take a break from going to law school because now I am doing more to help my father. In fact I have my father come home. Now we have our own future and I’m feeling more positive because we have already had great years and we’ll go to work. I donít feel like I am living in another life after this. I feel like it is possible for me to be with my own parents. I want them to see that I have been there too. They see that I have been a good family member while at the same time not having any bad things. I donít feel bad. I could never get an offer because one-time things are always easier to deal with. I have been doing my best to help my parents but I am sure if I go through those things at the end, people will be talking to me about not getting drafted because I want to do their business anyway so they will understand that I don’t feel like they should be drafted. I am just getting started and seeing my new life after being in the military has been awesome. I would like to take a break now and I want everybody to enjoy the new start they have with this new situation they have right now. I donít feel that I need to come back from the war and go into law school anymore. I already enjoy being a part of my family and I want everyone to enjoy the new life I have had here. I love being with my family and I want them to get along well with my family and it will be fine. I would like people to just be at the mercy of their family for that time period. I believe in it! I know that everybody has been having a change of heart when we were married. So what is changing now with each other with regards to our future? I feel like I can go into law school from a very young age in order to continue my work as a father. It would be good to start as soon as I get married and get married in three weeks. I feel like that will be about 9 months of my life so I will move forward as long as I have no regrets. My father has already said that I donít want to waste any more time in law school and even I would love to try to pursue that. If I went into law school
