My conspiracy theory [View all]
The military draft ended while I was in the army. My conspiracy theory is that the reason the draft was ended was because so many of us were finding out just how much we had in common with people who were totally different from ourselves. I served alongside people whom, without being in the military, I would never have come into contact with.
Many have suggested this, and I agree. We need to start up some sort of service draft. It could be giving people the choice of serving in the military, or at a hospital, or some other type of work that helps a community. Something that gets people out of their own bubble, and has them living and working alongside other people from different parts of the country. Expanding the awareness of young people in this country can be so beneficial in so many ways.
With everything that’s going on right now this seems like pie in the sky talk, but down the road it’s something to consider.
