DCrowe over at Return Good has an excellent post today about the poverty draft - that, in effect, poor economic conditions force young kids to join the military. DCrowe writes from a Christian, nonviolent point of view, but regardless of your religious views it’s a great read.
No one should think that military enlistment - effectively agreeing to kill people for their government - is the only option in life.
Check it out. It’s a great post.
