36. I don't know if it would prevent them entirely because Bush wasn't |

the only President to lie to us to get us into a war. Lyndon Johnson lied about the Gulf of Tonkin incident and violated this nation's trust in it's leaders. We had a draft then.
The only good a draft will do is increase scrutiny from the American public and if it appears that our leaders are trying to hoodwink us, we would see more street protests against wars.
