Reenactment Of The Military Service Draft
1,404 wordsThe Military Draft: An Unwise Solution The United States of America's military is currently involved in two major wars with U.S. opposition in Afghanistan and Iraq. All though both of these efforts can be said to be in the clean-up stages, many more soldiers will be needed to stabilize the regions, to provide police work, and to fight the insurgencies that have risen in opposition to the invasion of U.S. troops into foreign lands. The current presidential administration states that to adequately...

Draft Board Positions
1,784 wordsThe Draft will Start in June 2005 There is pending legislation in the House and Senate (twin bills: S 89 and HR 163) which will time the program's initiation so the draft can begin at early as Spring 2005 - just after the 2004 presidential election. The administration is quietly trying to get these bills passed now, while the public's attention is on the elections, so our action on this is needed immediately. $28 million has been added to the 2004 Selective Service System ( ) budget to prepare f...

Military Draft
424 wordsIf There Were a Draft It is complicated not to intelligently discuss the future of our military involvement with Iraq without the notion of a draft to arise. Although our presidential candidates and other government officials shun the issue of a draft and avidly display their negativity towards the idea, it is a feasible inquiry to ponder. What if there is indeed a draft? I, being a 16 year old student, know that if there ever is such a military draft, my particular age range would be in target ...

Drafted Soldiers
1,086 wordsNon-essential Conscription As the war on terrorism continues more troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are dying every month. The government is struggling to organize the number of soldiers maintaining the opposition in both Afghanistan and Iraq which brings up a popular topic-conscription (mandatory military enlistment). Senator Charles Rangel of New York was the one that introduced the call for the military draft upon the Senate. The draft was revoked and still hasn't been in affect since the Vietna...

Schenck's Speech
450 wordsSCHENCK vs. UNITED STATES (1919) The Schenck court case of 1919 developed out of opposition to U.S. involvement in World War I (1914-1918). Antiwar sentiment in the United States was particularly strong among socialists, German Americans, and religious groups that traditionally supported anti violence. In response to this outlook, Congress passed the Espionage Act of 1917. This law provided heavy fines and jail terms for interfering with U.S. military operations or for causing or attempting to c...

Selective National Draft
2,092 wordsHistorical Analysis of the Military Draft Policy Military Draft Conditions The Constitution adopted in 1789 gave Congress the 'power to raise and support armies,' but it neither mentioned nor prohibited conscription. The Framers left that issue to the future, although most of them believed that the United States like Britain would enlist its men rather than conscript them, and would pay for its armies through the power to tax. Not until World War I did the United States rely primarily upon consc...

Renewed Military Draft
1,703 wordsHistorically, the United States has had a draft system for every war since the Vietnam War. Now with the problems we are having with Iraq, there is talk of war and Americans are wondering if the United States will re-instate the draft system. The draft in America has always been unfair and unequal. Wealthy eligibles during the Revolutionary and Civil War could appoint an employee to serve for them. Others could pay anyone to serve their draft term. The Vietnam War proved the draft was unfair. Pr...

Our Military An Increase In Numbers
730 wordsAt the turn of the new millennium, I think it's safe to say that the women are pretty close to being just as equal as men are. This is why I feel if women want to be considered equal, they have to not only gain the rights we consider good, but also the rights that we may consider bad. That's why I think women should have to enter the draft, so they can also fight for the country they reside in. No one prays for war, but in this day and age, it's pretty safe to say that it's not an easy thing to ...

Military Policy
844 wordsTaking a Stand on Military Bias With the war against terrorism and the potential for military intervention in Iraq, the modern United States military is once again the focus of public attention. Yet, some of the policies of America's international protector of freedom and human rights seem out of step with modern society. There are at least three examples in which inconsistencies occur. The U. S Army, defender of the "free world", should be emancipated from bias and petty social concerns regardi...

Military Draft
1,249 wordsThe military draft is not instituted in America and hasn't been since the Vietnam War. Part of this is due to the fact that the United States hasn't been a very active warring country since then. Although recently, the United States has had problems with terrorists, and because of this, we are at war with Iraq. Now that we are in the midst of war, should the draft be reinstated? This presents an important problem because riding on the decision is just about every male in America's life. This iss...
