(154,021 posts)a draft means troops, not Halliburton, work supply, KP and other parts of the military that have been privatized. They really do not want a military that can feed itself and has the capacity to build it's own facilities, that is what Hallibruton and KBR and the rest of the leeches are for.
That also means that our public sphere continues to be privatized
Of course I did notice you did not address the Fire Service getting augmented by people who are trained and ready to help in case of a major wild fire (which are becoming more common due to climate change) that same oligarchy would love to have far more privatized services, including the fire service.
As I said, you and the oligarchy do agree, for different reasons. But you do. So don't worry. it ain't coming back.
They do not want it because it is bad for profits, and damn it, it might give the people a sense of the we, not just this selfish, go shopping attitude.
I served. before you say it. So did my husband. And it was not slavery my dear. But don't worry, the oligarchy really does not want it, so you do not need to worry. All this is navel grazing. Go shopping. They prefer that anyway.
