As it says at the beginning of the Document that thousands of young American men chose to flee into exile in Canada rather than having a high risk of being drafted into the military. All of these young americans became known as “Draft dodgers”. Many of these young americans didn't go because they didn't want to die and not be able to see their family anymore. Draft dodging- is when you don't comply to join the war. So my questions is would you go?…
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.…
Though Muhammad Ali was not one to skirt with the concept of breaking the law and resorting to aggressive means to ensure his survival outside of the ring, but he was known to stir controversy when his opinions, often strong, were to clash with the established norms and issues of the time. One of the most notable examples was his eventual arrest and conviction upon refusing to serve in the armed forces during the Vietnam War. An institution that was one of the primary elements of the counter-culture of the 60s was the act of drafting soldiers to fight in the Vietnam War, a conflict that was waged with the objective of stopping the then-threat of communism throughout South East Asia. With the Johnson administration focusing on ending the war…
The article examined in this essay provides a lot of information on the consequences of President Obama’s proposed Department of Defense budget cuts. Unfortunately, the article also contains many critical thinking fallacies. This essay will discuss two of those fallacies: red herring and appeal to an unqualified authority. In an effort to provide validity to his opinion, Hanson talks about how Soldiers are provided free training while traditional college students accrue debt with no practical education.…
There are many parts of the article where Lugo either directly or indirectly states his opinion against the use of video games in military recruitment. Lugo directly states his opinion in the last paragraph of the article. In the first sentence of the final paragraph of the article Lugo says “…while using video games to recruit youth is unethical, it is also brilliant.” Although Lugo agrees that video games are an effective strategy in recruiting when he states that it is unethical that gives evidence to his opinion that it should not be used as a recruiting tool. More evidence of his disapproval of the use of video games in recruiting comes near the end of the final paragraph when he says, “And, if all goes as planned, reality and fiction…

Reinstating The Military Draft Reinstating the military draft is a topic that creates a lot of discussion. The military draft is a system that requires individuals between eighteen and twenty five years old to enlist and serve in the military if eligible to join the service after assessment. Drafted men and women undergo months of training and are sent to wars or assigned to designations in the military. Reinstating the military draft is beneficial because national security is assured, the opportunity to reduce the unemployment rate, the chance to build one’s character, and the ability to create equality is possible.…
Conscription is the enforced enlistment of citizens for military service. Conscription was used in both World War I and World War II creating a divide between the English and French Canadians. Majority of French Canadians did not agree with conscription in either war. They found that it would be both unnecessary and unsuccessful. In WWI many soldiers and politicians realized the war would not end quickly.…
The Draft has been present in American history since the 1940’s when men were drafted during both periods of peacetime and periods of conflict in order to fill the vacancies within the United States Armed Forces that could not be filled through voluntary means. And though the draft was ended when the United States Armed Forces transitioned to an all-volunteer military force the possibility of the US bringing conscription back is overwhelmingly high. Although, it may be possible that in critical conditions social conscription could be beneficial towards the health of a nation, the lack of moral conquest is overwhelming, therefore the draft should not be reinstated for it takes away the freedom of individuals in the ‘land of the free’. The…
Men, who are drafted against their will, do not have the same commitment and passion as those who want to serve their country. In 2012, the Pentagon exceeded its quality standards for active duty recruits for the twenty-seventh year in a row. The military uses the AFQT, or Armed Forces Qualification Test, to determine a recruit’s eligibility for enrollment in the military. Half of all recruits are in the top two of five categories of the AFQT, while only one percent is in the bottom category. Compared to those who voluntarily enlist, only one-third of draft recruits place in the top two categories and twenty-five percent in the bottom.…
The military should only be altered if the alteration is an improvement. By forcing people to serve,the military will have workers who do not want to work. Workers who do not like the work that they do,work poorly. I used to push buggies at Wal-Mart.…
The number of citizens who have served in the military has decreased by over a half since 1980. There is high hostility toward the military: In that sense, we should bring back the draft. It would be an honor to fight for The United States— Air Force, Marines, Army, or Navy. This Nation is One and I believe that he or she should fight alongside their Country.…
It has been said that America is the land of the free and the home of the brave, but really America isn’t free if young men and women have to serve a mandatory service in the military. If a young man or woman wants to fight and die for our country on the front lines of war, that it should be their decision to make. First reason, young people in this country have so much more to live for. It is a proven fact that 17.68% of the young people that go into war die. It is also a proven fact that 48.20% are casualties.…
Yet, there is another alternative that some students have in mind. Some high school students know what they won't be able to afford to go to college, that’s when most of them decide to join the military. Afterwards, they are able to attend college and expand their knowledge. Not only that, but those graduates will have more experience and will have greater amount of job…
Before a Citizen decides to join the U.S. Army they have a preconceived notion of what an Army soldier is, what an Army soldier represents, and how life as a United States Army Soldier will be like. They contemplate how their friends, family, and the public will perceive them when they wear the uniform. Past and present Army leaders have worked diligently to form and maintain an Army image of disciplined, well trained, and true professional soldiers. Over the past 15 years, this outstanding image of Army Soldiers has dwindled to an image of soft, undisciplined, and lazy soldiers who care more about themselves and less about what it means to wear the uniform. The Army has brought forth an idea to combat this growing problem with a campaign…
