It is believed that a government may do whatever it takes to survive. If by using a Draft a government is able to survive, then it is the most devious and inhumane way believable. It turns lovers into killers, children of innocence into men of brutality -- it turns the very fabric of humanity into cruelty and vice. Perhaps, though, one may argue that a state has a right to defend itself. That, by forcing its citizens to fight to their deaths, the government acheives some great goal. This is a lie and a treacherous one at that. If citizens must be forced to fight a war they do not want -- if they are drafted -- then the very fact that they are forced to do what they detest shows the inhumanity of such an action. It shows the heartless and brutal nature of the state. Furthermore, it shows that the Draft principally is an institution based on viciousness. When the Draft is enforced, and men are forced to join military services against their will and slaughter, then it turns a possibly upstanding government into a ruthless band of thieves.
