The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have shown that the Volunteer Army is simply not working. They are fought mostly by kids who have limited options at home. Democracy is built around all sharing in the wealth and sacrifices of a country. The possiblity of a military draft, given our country's state of mind is not very likely. However, some type of Community Service should be in our democratic equation. This site is built on the idea of AllServe.
