"I would never have guessed at the time that conscription would be abolished by Richard Nixon, and still less that he would appoint Milton Friedman and Alan Greenspan to the Presidential Commission on the subject. The two right-wing libertarians condemned the draft as 'involuntary servitude.' Today, almost the only people who call for the return of the system are collectivists and liberals."
This was from the 2010 edition but it remains so very true today. Either saying there should be a return of the draft or that Republicans will do it so "vote for me" seem to be the province exclusively of the Democrats.
