Extra Credit: A Reading of Vietnam War

"Only Unjust Wars Require a Draft."


As we can see, the title conveys a direct negative attitude toward war, especially pointing to Vietnam War. It was one of a few wars where the U.S. government had daft. Its cost last forever. Like a quote from the article, "War itself is a doubtful necessity at best; a costly waste of life and liberty at worst," the purpose of starting the Vietnam War should be doubted and questioned.


During the World War First, Wilson said that "chosen upon the principle of universal liability, to service" as a draft. And this "universal liability to serve" was pursued by presidents. It is sad that they did this to gain political fames and whatever.


I think draft is a form of enslaving that has already lost its original liberty and democracy.
