I would hate for my son to be drafted with the current CiC and the rules of engagement that are getting our troops killed.

I was drafted, I served.
Brings citizens closer to the nation's business. Piece of the rock, etc.
** btw I was 20 years old, married, with a 5 month old daughter when my notice arrived.
Two years later when I got out, one of my dominant ideas was that I earned my right to an opinion.
Those were very controvertial times. People these days seem tamed down, dumbed down.
