He Says A Draft (!) Would Make The World More Peaceful And Is Actually Kind Of Convincing About It

I can sometimes get all preachy about world peace and say that war should be avoided at all costs. But how many of us really know the true cost of war? And how can we really understand these costs when* *less than 1% of Americans experience it?

You might not like what this guy is about to say. (He gets to the point about a draft at 6:50 if you're short on time.) But think about why he's saying it.This video from Dr. Mike Haynie was shared with me by my girlfriend, who is an active-duty Marine. I couldn't stop thinking about it and knew I had to share it.

If you'd like to get involved in reaching out to our nation's veterans, you can find an opportunity near you on Volunteer Match.
