Employment opportunities are curtailed for many. for what the draft does. in effect. through its coercive power. is to restrict labor resources from moving into uses where their net productivity is greatest given individual preference patterns. For many young men. avoiding the draft becomes the prime concern and a few have actually fled to Canada to escape conscription. Fleeing from compulsory military service. I might add. was the motivating purpose for large numbers of Europeans immigrating to the United States In the last century. The draft disrupts the education. employment. and personal lives of many of our young male citizens. For this reason. the selective service law should be revised.
