=THE HOME FRONT=  --> SELECTIVE SERVICE <--


 * A LOT OF PROGRESSIVES THINK THAT FORCING MILITARY SERVICE IS A VIOLATION OF DEMOCRATIC & REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES. CONGRESS CREATED A NEW CONSCRIPTION SYSTEM CALLED SELECTIVE SERVICE. THE SERVICE MADE ALL MEN, THE AGE OF 21-30, REGISTER FOR THE DRAFT IN THE MILITARY. NAMES WERE PICKED RANDOMLY BEFORE THEY MADE A LOCAL DRAFT BOARD IN CHARGE. THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WERE CIVILIANS FROM LOCAL COMMUNITIES. PROGRESSIVES THINK THAT LOCAL PEOPLE KNEW THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO JOIN THE ARMY THEN MEN FROM GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY.
