    No drafting is the problem. No one should go to war against their will. Protecting the country with your life should be a choice. Unmotivated soldiers are useless anyway.

      I mean, if unmotivated soldiers were useless then drafting wouldn’t really be a thing. You get a hell of a lot of motivation to survive when you’re thrown into combat.

      And a major contributor to that problem is, wouldn’t you say, a problem? What you just said doesn’t address my point at all. Drafts are a problem, that doesn’t make it the only one

        I don’t care that someone can dodge the draft, because there shouldn’t be drafts in the first place, so dodging drafts is not the problem

        edit: sorry I misunderstood your comment I see what you mean now

          Right. And part of why there’s a draft, the thing you have a problem with, is that wealthy people can avoid it. It’s literally a cause of the problem. I do not understand how you don’t think the cause of problems isn’t part of those problems?
