National Service, A Force For Peace?

I am not in favour of military National Service, which would compromise the professionalism of the Armed Forces, and which, divisively and thus contrary to National Service’s purpose, would have to be accompanied by an alternative for conscientious objectors. But I only ask, might it not have been a force for peace, with the Forces intimately connected to every family in the land, disinclining those families to support wars, or to support politicians who supported wars? As I say, I only ask.

    A draft will only fuel the war machine.

    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!
