Military Draft

Paper Summary:

The author of this paper argues that reinstating the draft would prove one thing beyond doubt, seemingly: the current Bush administration has plans for imperialism unparalleled in recent history. The author argues that the U.S. government is willing to be as sneaky as it needs to be to send another generation of the best and brightest to their deaths without even the Cold War specter of spreading Communism to afford cover for the will to make war, as was the case in Vietnam.

From the Paper:

"A conclusion one could make, considering this stealthy (and therefore dishonest) attempt to reinstate the draft without citizen approval or even knowledge, is that Bush needs lots more men and women than the public is aware of to fight more wars than the public could conceive of. Swomley notes that "the Bush strategy permits him to decide, well before there is any action or threat of action against the United States, to make war against any nation he chooses, or whose oil or other resources he covets." War fighters are necessary for that."
