It would be detrimental for this county to reinstate a military draft. As any employer knows, the worst worker is the one that does not want to be there. If the United States rei nstates the draft, it will be putting the safety of this county and its citizens in the hands of soldiers tha t were unwillingly made to enlist. You actively put the future of this country at risk and halt the potent ial that these involuntary soldiers have toward the future of the United States of America. There are numerous reasons why a military of volunteers is better than a drafted military. Soldiers that volunteered for the military tend to be more family-oriented, more ca reer-oriented, and stay within the service longer. This is turns reduces the cost of training. De fense officials, lawmakers, and analysts say that the military is more effective and le ss expensive as an all-volunteer force. In addition, the need of a draft is not needed due to advances in weapon technology. However, if there comes a time when a need for a draft is the only option, plea se look toward the incarcerated persons. Millions of dollars are spent to take care of prisoners in the nation’s prison. Why not put these individuals to use? Why endanger and take a chance with the potential of the citizen that is trying to better themselves by working, producti on, or obtaining an education? If there is a need to “replenish” the military, please consider another option. Reinstating a military draft would only solve an immediate problem, however, the long-term effect s would be quite detrimental. Thank you for your time. I ask that you carefully consider this issue and its effect on the country. Return address: Name Address Line 1 Address Line 2 City, State Zip Code Sincerely, N A M E
