    Bring Back The Draft

    Research | Videos | by Peter M. Robinson
    Tuesday, December 12, 2006

    Under President Nixon, in 1973 the United States abolished the draft, moving to an all-volunteer armed forces. Now some—most notably New York congressman Charles Rangel, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee—have called for a reinstatement of the draft. Is this a good idea? What lessons from history can we call on to help answer this question? And what impact would the reinstatement of the draft have on society as a whole and the military in particular? Peter Robinson speaks with David Kennedy and Edwin Meese. (33:11) Video transcript

Through the broad sweep of American history, however, the “apolitical traditions” of the military are hardly clear-cut.

    Research | Articles | by Williamson Murray
    Tuesday, August 29, 2017

    With the troubles bubbling over on the Korean Peninsula, as the North Korean regime approaches possession of nuclear weapons and missiles capable of striking the United States, two words, preemptive and preventive, have gained increasing currency.

And here, as is so often the case, history is a useful tool in thinking through the possibilities.
