The Military Draft: against the rights of every citizen

When asked about the draft, Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute said the following:

"I think it makes sense to certainly consider it."

The draft should never be re-instated. Every citizen in this country should have the right to do what they want with their life, when they want to do it. No matter what the benefits that might come with the draft, no body wants to be told what to do, nor should they be told. And the United Nations knew this. Here are just a few clauses in the Declaration of Human Rights that would be violated if there ever was another draft:

-Article 3: Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.
-Article 4: no one shall be held in mandatory servitude
-Article 20: no one may be forced to belong to an association
-Article 23: Everyone has the right to choice of employment

Hopefully there never will be another draft, but if there is, expect chaos. There is a voluntary service and that is how it should stay. And to be honest, I do not expect a draft any time soon. Politicians who would have to vote for it know that they would never win re-election and more importantly wouldn't want to send their own sons into battle.
