Joe Klein has a long piece in Time Magazine this week. The Courage Primary outlines the five issues Klein feels the candidates must address to get his attention and respect. On the fifth page of the online article, Klein explains why he feels we need a new military draft (with a nonmilitary service option). Klein says:

Not every 18-year-old would be pressed into two years of military service. Other options would be available: service as homeland- and border-security guards or airport check-in inspectors. In each of these cases, two years' service as a draftee would be the first step in a career ladder if you wanted to become, say, a professional border guard.
