Pros And Cons Of Reinstating The Draft

There were many wars in the past, but what do we mean by war? It is A period of fighting between countries or groups Through history, wars have had different kinds of effects on the societies impacted by the wars for many reasons. There were many important wars throughout the history like the American civil war, over 600,00 soldiers were killed, the war started in South Carolina on April 12, 1861. The war was fought between southern and northern states of the United States. The southern states didn't want to be part of the United States anymore because they thought as the country expands they would gain less power be and decided to make their own country called the confederate state of America which was made up of 11 southern states (South

The Union Enrollment Act drafted all able-bodied men between twenty and forty-five years of age to help fight the American Civil War. However, the US did not use conscription again until 1917 in preparation for war in Europe, known as World War I (Encarta). In 1917, the United States Congress passed the Selective Draft Act. This act created a government office to oversee conscription. Additionally, the act also authorized local draft boards to select eligible individuals for conscription to fight the war. Of course this act was challenged by many organizations, but was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1918. The court held; Article I of the Constitution gives Congress the power to "raise and support Armies" (245 U.S. 366, 38 S. Ct. 159, 62 L. Ed. 349 [1918]) (West's Encyclopedia of American Law). Conscription continued until it was suspended in 1973.

During World War 2, The U.S used the draft system to bring in more soldiers. They were going into war with Japan and Germany.The people that were chosen had to protect american. Those people is why America is well protected. Today America is Peaceful and have not been in any wars for a long time.

Throughout all of history, humans have gone to war with each other. They may fight over land, food, social status, power, or simply over wrong and right. Many people take it for

Since the U.S has had military forces, a large portion of that time the U.S only used the draft for war time. The first draft dated back to the Civil War, and you could only escape it from paying $300 to the government or providing a substitute. The U.S has relied on a volunteer army since 1973, while since 1980 all males ages 18 through 25 have been required to register for the Selective Service System.

In order to prevent another draft from happening, we as Americans should speak our voices and write to our government about the issues of conscription, we should all demand the topic to be brought up at the Senate and at the house of representatives, as the citizens of the united states we should have a say in who gets to go and who doesn't get to go to war and that idea alone should be heard around the world. The power of war should be the power of the

For as far back as mankind dates back in it's existence, there has always been and always will be war. History all throughout the world holds numerous acts of war dating all the way back to the early years of civilization, up until even today's most recent problems. I believe war is a perfectly necessary action, especially when a hostile force makes unjustifiable attacks that put the safety of our country at jeopardy. This does not mean that every issue's solution has to be war. Simply, this means you deserve to be able to protect yourself against a bully. Of course there will always be the thought of being able to live in peace and harmony, but is that a realistic goal? There will always be bad guys with guns who wont take no for an

When a young man in this country turns eighteen they have to register for the Selective Service System. In the twenty-first century, people wonder if it is still necessary to have selective services. When Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the law into legislation, the purpose was to fill vacancies in the military that volunteering could not. In this actuality, the draft was never used like it had been for the period of the Vietnam War, most of the manpower had volunteered. Throughout the first two world wars, there were men signing up by the thousands. It was thought as honorary to be a soldier fighting for this great country. Consequently, all through these wars it was understood by the populace why we were fighting in a war. Either we were threatened or another country had attacked us. The Vietnam War was different; not many people thought we should be fighting in Vietnam and didn’t comprehend why we were in the first place. This lack of support, it could be called, caused copious amounts of resentment towards the soldiers going to fight in a foreign country for no apparent purpose. Therefore, there were protests of this war all across this country; everywhere from college campuses to Washington, D.C., people were in contradiction of the war. Men would flee the country to Canada to escape from what they saw as an injustice. The course of great conflict in the country, caused by drafting of young men, made many argue that we should not have the

War has played a huge role in numerous parts throughout history and it “is an invention of modern humans dating only as far back as ten thousand years.” (Morillo 58) There are many speculations as to what war actually includes and why it was created in the first place. War was instigated by the rise of agriculture and the creation of settlements during the axial age. Agriculture may seem like a reasonable and effective way to start a civilization, but it also introduced more issues as it created many cultural differences between neighboring settlements.

Conscription is Here! Stephanie Liang In 1914, 330 000 soldiers (!)- 4% of which were French- Canadians, willingly went to Europe to fight for their country, but by early 1917 voluntary enlistment was dropping and enlistment systems were disorganized. As a solution Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden proposed the idea of conscription on May 18.

Internally and externally, past and present, individually and societally, throughout history one thing is constant: war. Originally intended as means by which to obtain a desired resource, war morphed through hundreds of years to the brutal affliction we are familiar with today. However, a few hundred years ago, even until just after 1900, war in Europe was almost just a game of nobility. As kings and dynasties moved their pawns around the map, conquering here, and losing there, valor and glory remained at the forefront of the professionally trained career soldiers that dominated the European regular armies. From various sources it is now seen that the whole concept of war was forever altered around the First World War

In one way or another, war has been present on earth since the beginning. The ranging intensity of a war could be just an argument within a community, a battle between two countries over a piece of land, or it can be a personal thing, war with one's emotions and own mind. Either way it is an inevitable factor in life. In all of history it has been associated with something negative. It results in widespread death of soldiers, and if not death it is injury and mental hindrances to those who survive. It creates cruel humans, people who are out to kill as many people as possible and creates unstable minds. Prisoners of War camps support cruel punishment to enemies in some cases to a very unnecessary extent. There are groups and associations that claim

War has always been a part of human life and the growth of every country in the world. It was either war between two or more countries or war within the country. Some fought to gain independence, some fought to expand its power and some just fought because they were allies to the country at war. No matter what the reason was, war has left a great impact to how things are today. Two of most brutal wars in the world were World War 1 and World War 2. Both of this war has some similarities and difference in why it occurred and what was the affect of the aftermath.

The first question is, if there was war from the beginning of human kind on, or if war just was developed over time? This is a

“War is delightful to those that have no experience of it.” A quote by Desiderius Erasmus, a Dutch humanist and social critic, shows tells that war isn’t always as epic and awesome that most Americans make it out to be. Reinstating the draft might sound like a great way to impose our power on the world furthering the American agenda, as well as enforcing the American ideal of extreme pride in nationalism. The problem is however, that most Americans that want the draft reinstated have no clue about the mountain of problems that it would create. America would be in very dire straits if the draft were necessary. The last time America used the draft was during the Vietnam War and that draft did indeed fit those three requirements. The draft should only be used under three crucial prerequisites. If it does not meet these requirements then the draft should not be reinstated. Those three pretenses are: America is in an extreme conflict, every U.S citizen able would be entered in the draft and it would need to be a lottery type system.
