It was interesting of listening to the radio this morning about the debate on drafting. I personally don't believe by drafting will prevent the war, because politicians will always have a way to prevent their sons to go into war. And because the increase amount of soldiers enlisted, it would just give them more of an excuse to go into a war because they have enough man power.

I believe it should be voluntary. There are plenty people who are willing to fight for this country with their lives. Though a veteran on the radio also stated that he and several of his friends got recalled like 3-4 times already just because we don't have enough soldiers.

Then there was a debate about military training is good mental development for teenagers because it'll help them to become more mature because of the tense training.

Some countries actually have mandatory military training school for young boys between the age of 18-20 something. I don't believe they are drafted because they can choose at the end of training. I may be wrong though...

Then I heard this lady on the radio, she got so freaked out she said she would run over her son's legs if that ever happen...

I guess my take overall is that there should not be a draft, but recommend teenagers to enroll a year of military school which does not mean they are enlisted as a veteran. Maybe at the end, they would voluteer themselves and we don't have to force them.
