There is another viewpoint that seldom gets the attention that it deserves. Some will say, we just need to revere those who served. The most positive decision coming out of the last thirty years has significance that affects all of us. It honors those who served and those who supported each conflict. The draft is now abolished.
Involuntary servitude is gone and forced indentured service has now become voluntary.
That is a victory that we ALL should celebrate. Before you tune out and shut your mind, consider a process that is rarely practiced today. Thinking . . . We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
