Bring Back The Draft

The first action of the new president needs to take is signing an executive order bringing back the draft.  Deferments will be available to anyone whose parents make less than $175,000- adjusted gross income per year.

Right now America has a military made up largely of poorly educated, lower class mercenaries who come from poor families.  Most of the young people who join or re-enlist do so because this is their only financial opportunity or the only way they have to get away from home.

These poor people would still be welcome to join the military if they so choose, but the sons and daughters of the ruling class would be required to serve for two years.

I promise you that the streets would erupt in protest.  It is the surest way to stop America from fighting wars when we should be talking.
