U.S. Troops in Saudi Arabia
Clarence Page tells us (Commentary, Dec. 7) that “America’s military is composed of nothing but volunteers these days.” This is partly incorrect. There are soldiers who have completed their contracts but are not allowed to get out.
We have a mostly all-volunteer military, yet we are possibly on the verge of a high-casualty war. The draft should be reinstated so that military service in this possible war will be shared more evenly through the economic levels of our society.
