Experts Call for Universal Military Draft to Curb US War Policy

Both Thom Hartmann and CounterPunch highlight that the current US all-volunteer military system enables disengaged decision-making in conflicts, particularly regarding Iran.

This proposal aims to reduce unchecked militarism and encourage more cautious foreign policy decisions, potentially reshaping US defense engagement in the future.
