53 What is the libertarian position on the military draft?

History shows that free people can be counted on to defend their homes
and their country. But the draft is slavery, and slaves make lousy
defenders of freedom.

I like knowing I'm being protected by people who are in the military
because they want to be there, not because they were forced against
their will to be there.

A military focused on defending America instead of policing the globe
would reduce manpower needs and further eliminate any reason to have a
draft or draft registration.

Let's let free people defend freedom. [3]
