Polityka imperialna to powod do namyslu dla tych wszystkich, ktorych dzieci
maja obywatelstwo amerykanskie; w koncu poboru nie da sie uniknac.
Istnieje palaca potrzeba wprowadzenia poboru (jak za czasow oststniej wiekszej
z gory przegranej rozroby, w Wietnamie). Jedyny hamulec obecnie (mysle ze
skuteczny):
Bringing back conscription would be catastrophic for George Bush in an
election year, and at a time when parallels are increasingly being drawn
between Iraq and Vietnam.
Purely in mechanical terms, a draft is a complicated and difficult thing to
get off the ground. It would require an act of Congress, first, and then the
signature of the president. Young men are already required to register with
the Selective Service system, but if the bill were signed into law, it would
still take half a year or more to get the new troops into the system. Federal
law would require the Selective Service to immediately set up a lottery and
start sending out induction notices. Local draft boards would have to evaluate
them for medical problems, moral objections and other issues like family
crises, and hear the appeals of those who are resisting the draft.
In a new draft, college students whose lottery number was selected would only
be permitted to finish their current semester; seniors could finish their
final year. After that, they'd have to answer the call.
