"Fair?" You're joking, right? The draft wasn't fair before we went all volunteer. Women aren't allowed in combat units (I am a woman) so where's the fairness there? Gays aren't allowed in the military (DADT aside) so where's the fairness there? That doesn't even get into the basic social crap that went down in the beginning. The draft was a complete joke. Rich white boys went where when they were drafted? A cushy Pentagon job. What makes you think that's going to change? People in power are just going to pull strings to make sure there little darlings never get sent to the front lines. The poor man is the one who's gonna get shot.
There's nothing fair about it.
