DO WE NEED A DRAFT?
March 18, 2011
Dear Friends,
This Saturday marks the 8th Anniversary of the Iraq War. On Thursday, I reintroduced the Universal National Service Act. By requiring 30 million people in the United States between the ages of 18 and 25 to perform two years of national service in either the armed services or in civilian life, the bill would make America both stronger militarily and here at home in our schools, airports, hospitals, and communities. The question of whether we need a draft will always be important as long as this country is placing thousands of its young men and women in harm's way. But now and in the future, we need to ensure that service and duty to our great nation is an honor that is shared by all throughout the country.
