Unlike enemy forces like radical terrorist group or some local coalitions, our troops will be educated which is vital to have a modern and effective military force. Trained doctors can treat the wounded better. Educated engineers can help construct and fortify the military with new defenses and weapons to reduce casualties. Educated law students can help regulate right and wrong in the military by helping settle foreign issues in court. Although we don’t only need highly educated troops, such as WWII where a majority was short term education troops which actually assisted the war. (Moskos, 2000)
Rehabilitation
The draft can be a great way rehabilitate the country’s petty criminals to become better citizens. From the start of just training, all draftees and enlisted troops will be disciplined in training and will continue until they leave the military or better themselves. There experience in the military will not only help them learn multiple skills but it will also show them how fortunate they are. Being paid a stable salary will help these troops keep from crime and provided free education, they can even become greatly educated and better their lives.
