With many soldiers forced to serve multiple combat tours and army desertion rates at a two-decade high, most people agree that the war in Iraq has stretched our all-volunteer military to its breaking point. While creative recruitment tactics and incentive bonuses have helped staunch the shortage of manpower, some are urging the United States to re-establish the national military draft, abolished by Richard Nixon in 1973. Moderated by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs' Rachel Bronson, tonight's debate considers whether all citizens should help bear the burden of war and if a draft is the answer to our army woes.
