America's military is the best example of a public good for U.S. citizens. I believe that a draft is necessary for the United States, but I think it should be changed to include both men and women once they reach the age of eighteen to sign up for selective service. There is no draft in effect now; therefore, all currently serving troops all fighting as a result of their own free will to serve, which is highly commendable.

They should not be force. If a person is force to do anything, the results will be the attitude of I do not care. The "do not care attitude" will cause others to get killed or injury. America is a country of free will, so there is no need for a draft. People should have the decision rather to go to war or not. They should not be force.

Especially fighting a war were continental america has no direct threat. incentives for military recruitment are at an all time high, and this should always be so. I also feel the U.S. does not feel the burden of this war. The national debt may be high, but look arround, things are good here. I served in iraq. If I would have been drafted against my will to serve, I would have raised hell against the goverments decision. Wheather it is finacially benificial or not, if americans don't want to fight they should not have to (not counting those who volenteraly joined the military). The ability of choice is real freedom.
