Arthur Silber is no doubt trying to be provocative in making this point. But, that said, there is a lot to the point. By reinstituting a draft the government would be taking freedom away from millions of young Americans. In many ways it would be stealing years from their lives. There are a host of reasons to oppose the draft, but this is a fundamental one that shouldn't be ignored.

I'm doing research on the subject-"anti-draft". If anybody has some good reasons for opposing it please e-mail me.
