Draft Registration: The Politics of Institutional Immortality
Even the Department of Defense acknowledges that registration could be dropped with no effect on
military mobilization requirements. Yet draft registration lives on, an example of the difficulty
of terminating even the most useless government programs.

A Draft After the 2000 Elections?
There may yet be a military draft in your future if you'll be turning 20 in 2001, once the
elections are out of the way. In late July of this year Newsday published a Los Angeles Times
dispatch reporting that, "key members of Congress' military committees, for the first time in
a generation, are discussing revival of the draft."

Draft Not Needed for Protection of Liberty
When a federal agency admits that it could stand to cut a program, everyone should take notice.
Especially when the program carries a $25 million price tag that could be better spent caring for
our veterans. In 1994 a Department of Defense document was released saying that the time had come
to end the inefficient Selective Service draft registration system. Article by Representative Ron
Paul (R) of Texas

Neither Fair Nor Useful
we believe the State must not arbitrarily and systematically oblige its citizens to go into a
service, armed or not, against their will. In the case of military service the italian law on
conscience objection admits that Against conscription: It is unfair to force people to do this kind
of "service" against their conscience; in the case of civil service we believe one must
not violently enforce solidarity and "volunteering".

Manifesto against Conscription and the Military System
It is our belief that conscript armies, with their large corps of professional officers, are a
grave menace to peace. Conscription involves the degradation of human personality, and the
destruction of liberty. Barrack life, military drill, blind obedience to commands, however unjust
and foolish they may be, and deliberate training for slaughter undermine respect for the
individual, for democracy and human life.
