The Young People Have Spoken
In a recent survey of that magical demographic, the 17-29 age group,
"42 percent of young Americans thought it was likely or very likely that the nation would reinstate a military draft over the next few years — and two-thirds said they thought the Republican Party was more likely to do so. And 87 percent of respondents said they opposed a draft.."
In other words, nearly half of the potential candidates for military service believe that their leaders will force them into war. Those are some staggering numbers. Here's to hoping that the youth, in this case, is wrong.

The youth are right on in their distaste for conscription!
Would you be willing to spread the word about www.draftresistance.org? It's a site dedicated to shattering the myths surrounding the selective slavery system and building mass civil disobedience to stop the draft before it starts.
Our banner on a website, printing and posting the anti-draft flyer or just telling friends would help.
Thanks!

PS. When it comes to conscription, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
