  Draft to Equalize Military Service?
You might want to read AWOL: The Unexcused Absence of America's Upper Classes from the Military – and How it Hurts Our Country by Kathy Roth-Douquet and Frank Schaeffer published by Collins Books, of Harper Collins.

I for one feel that while the draft is likely a thing of the past until the Muslims are killing Christians here in the city streets, we do need more of a sense of civic responsibility among all citizens. It seems to me that 98% of the country doesn't care how they get to do what they do, only that they get to do it. The only people earning liberty are those who give it up for 2-30 years (and too many for the rest of their lives).

For us, the American ideal is personified in the concept of self-reliance, work ethic, honesty/forthrightness, decency, personal property rights, family, religion, an ability to defend oneself from criminals and crooked politicians, and personal responsibility.
