James T. Kirby states:


A draft makes much more sense as a democratic principal. If a military
action
is defensible morally and politically, than a democratic population should be
willing to fight it in an egalitarian manner. A draft of this nature should
allow no-one the opportunity to evade it. If Joe Senator from wherever, on
either
side of the aisle, wants to
vote for this, then he better dammed well be ready to send his kid off (and
those of
his corporate buddies and lawyer friends), or he is a
lying, sniveling hypocrite.


Yes, well, take option #2, because option #1 has NEVER happened.
