The draft should be abolished. No one should be forced to fight and die for some GAE shit.
Conscription is Napoleonic nuclear weaponry. Once one superpower has it, they all have to have it. It's not going away.
I would find conscription to be a necessary evil if it were only used for actual common defense instead of things like "much of Europe is big mad at the Kaiser for some reason or other. let's get involved."
Yeah, that's not what dragged us into WW1. Do you really not know about the Zimmerman telegram? The diplomatic proposal to turn Mexico against us if we helped the British against Germany?
You can't just simplify things to people are "big mad at the Kaiser"
And? That's the biggest fucking nothingburger. Oh no. A telegram!?
