Return to draft? BY FLORENCE LANIA
•
The word " draft" to many people may seem frightening. To some it is, and if certain precautions are not taken immediately on the Iran situation the next step might be war, _ resulting in the reinstatement of the draft. Who does Uncle &\m want? According to Newsweek magazine, during the late stages of the Vietnam War , many young men tore up draft cards, or fled to · Canada or Sweden to avoid induction into the draft. Since .then the U.S. has shifted to all-volunteer armed forces and no one has been called since . Congress has taken into consideration reinstating the draft. The main reason is simply that voluntary enlistments are not supplying the necessary numbers of servicemen and reservists . Another reason is that the draft machinery is so rusty that the Pentagon no longer even knows how many eligible men are in the prime 18-to-26 age group , or where they reside . Registering, classifying and sending the first draftee to basic training would take 110days . Another big question is whether or not women should also be registered in case of war. How do the Cabrini students feel about the drafting situation? Maryjane Monostra, sophomore said, " No way do I want to go to war but at the same time as far as
women being drafted , they brought it up amongst themselves with the Women Liberation Movement." Nancy Cortese, sophomore said , " All women should volunteer for work, such as helping out with first aid, secretarial work, etc., but not to go out and fight in the trenches . ' ' Freshman Joan McGuckin , said, "No, I don't feel that women should be drafted and that the drafting of men is good because they should be loyal to their country in case of war ." The situation with Iran and any other problems that may arise might mean that drafting will be put into use . Think for a moment, do you want to be drafted?
