General Discussion

The idea is that if everyone (or their loved one's) life is potentially on the line, people might be more invested in making thoughtful decisions about going to war. It's not just about sending nameless and faceless 'our troops' to fight; it's about sending our kids, our neighbors, and ourselves.

I believe it could reduce support for unprovoked invasions and encourage more diplomatic solutions. But, at the same time, it could disproportionately affect certain groups, like low-income communities and those who cannot afford "deferments" or "bone spurs" exceptions.
