    If this is the chosen course of action then a non-deferment form of draft should be put in place. All 18-34 yrs old all must be made to go. No rich buying off their kids from going by sending them out of the country.
    Years back it was claimed that we did not send our best to Vietnam. That was because of the elites in the USA buying off their children going in. This time if a child does not go then the family should lose all assets and property in the USA. If you and your family does not like the USA enough to help protect it. Then you all do not deserve the assets and property that you have that is being protected by those that are in the service.
    Time to go real hardcore on all that do not want to serve. Then watch how political choices to attack other countries will suddenly change. When the politicians know that some of their own family members are at risk of going. It is a lot easier to send troops when your kids do not have to go. That would all change with a non-deferment style of draft in the USA. That is real CHANGE!
