AGE—Mistake
I still think congress should have
made the minimum age for young
men taken for military service 18 in
stead of 21 years. Those three years,
in most bovs’ lives,-^neke a lot of|
difference. At 18 they are physically
as mature as they ever will be, and
are just beginning to find their way
around in an adult world. Most boys
need discipline more between 18 and
21 than before or alter.

POLITICS—Gone
One reason I think the system of
conscription or selective draft is a
better way to raise an army than the
volunteer system is that there’s no
politics in it. I grew up in an" era
when the politics of the whol^ na
tion was controlled by men whose
principal capital was their military
record as volunteer officers. There
were ro many generals ih public life
that a politician* who was able to
brag that he was only a corporal but
had lost both legs in war became a
national figure and was appointed
commissioner of pensions.
“Private John Allen” of Mississip
pi however, outmatched Corporal
Tanner of Pennsylvania. He came to
congress in the 1880’s boasting that
he was the only man below the rank
of brigadier-general who fought in
the Confederate armies; and as
Washington had never heard of any
body fro mthe South who didn’t
claim to have Seen at least a colonel,
the boys on Capitol Hill took John
. Allen to their hearts and helped

When the United States went to

and had been writing on nationai
