Re: The draft
Alex--
Regarding the draft:
1.Certainly privilege and protection will exist for the sons and daughters
of the rich if and when universal conscription is in place. However, it
will not be able to MASK that privilege and protection under the guise of
"volunteerism."
2. Historically, universal military service injected class conflict into
the military ranks as a struggle between the officers' corps and the
enlisted personnel.
3. Creation of a professional, volunteer, army is absolutely essential if
and when the task, the primary task, of the army becomes control,
suppression, of the civilian population of the home or other countries.
That if and when is right here right now.
