Lefties are beside themselves that they can no longer claim that military service is performed disproportionately by the uneducated and the poor. Members of our all-volunteer military have been shown in studies to be not only better educated, but better off economically than their civilian age/peer group.

A draft would thus provide the left with one resource which they lack today, and which they feel they need; a steady supply of “conscientious objectors” for them to promote and exploit.
