Importance Of Honor The Draft

Decent Essays
To conclude after much consideration of all my knowledge I believe I would honor the draft. I don't want to have to start fresh in another country. I don't want to be jumpy and scare my family when I get back from duty but everyone handles war differently. The draft notice isn't unfair or unjust because everyone has to sign up. The majority of my family more than likely wouldn't honestly care if I honored the notice or not. Ultimately, I don't think I could live with myself if I didn't go and honor the draft due to the money I took from the government to go to school. I think it is fair that I would have to go and put in some work for the money I received.

    As Debs quotes "They have always taught and trained you to believe it to be your patriotic duty to go to war" meaning the government has taught one as a child to serve your country. As you go along in school one develops this mentality that as a citizen of this country one has to fulfill duties that will help the country like fighting in wars. For example, since the start of school a person is required to pledge allegiance to the flag. Students would get in trouble if they were to refuse pledging to the flag. Similar to the draft if one were to resist it, then they would not be for filling their so call duties as a citizen of the United States.…

    The year is 1968, and the Vietnam War is already 14 years underway. There is not a volunteer army, so the Selective Service System sends out a draft notice to all eligible males between the ages of 18 and 26. There were many ways to get out of the draft like having a disability, having a health condition, being a conscientious objector, being a student or choosing to flee to Canada. What would the feelings be of a young man with a bright future who just received a notice? This is what the author Tim O’Brien went through in his autobiographical short story “On the Rainy River”.…

    It is important to honor our veterans because they risked their lives for our freedom. Without them, we wouldn’t have won a lot of wars.

Then in 1954 President Eisenhower changed it to veteran’s day to honor all veterans, rather than just from WW1. This is why it’s important to honor our veterans.…

    The question being asked of me is “Why Veterans are Important to Our Nation’s History and Future?” Veterans are important to me because I live with two of them and I have a lot of them in my family. Without them, I wouldn’t know the reason why we have people sacrificing themselves for our country. My Grandpa, Roy Noble, always said that “War is not good but fighting for our country is,” I didn’t really understand that until I realized without them we wouldn’t have a free country. Britain would have taken over and we would have a queen instead of a president, or something like that.…

    “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him,” said G.K. Chesterton. A love for their country is why my veterans serve. It never really sunk into me how much veterans sacrifice for us. I think that we need to show as much respect to people that have served in the military forces to make us be able to be free. Or be able to pursue whatever we would like to.…

    Thomas Jefferson, the author of our great Declaration of Independence once said, “It is reasonable that everyone who asks justice should do justice.” As a progressive founding father, Jefferson sought this justice by means of freedom. Today, American society has grown from this freedom, and justice is usually sought from means other than an oppressive British Empire. We now consider justice synonymous to law; a duty and symbol of our courts. Justice serves the individual and the society as a guardian of life, liberty, and property.…
