Microeconomics Should the U.S reinstitute a military draft? <Tab/>I do not agree with the reinstitution of a military draft. In 1973 the military draft was lifted in the United States and with good reason. The United States should not rely on a draft to fill military vacancies but rely on recruitment. It is true that the military offers incentives and luxuries that some civilians could not afford otherwise such as …showed first 75 words of 525 total…

Even if the military paid nothing, the country would still relinquish what he or she would have produced if not in the military. <Tab/>"National defense is an important government function; for rational decision-making, we mustn't permit concealment of its cost through measures like the draft."
