The Draft: An Ethical Analysis
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
A 5 page consideration of the ethical validity of the draft. Reviewing the contentions made by author Hans Halberstadt in the article “Forget the draft; today’s Army doesn’t want and doesn’t need slackers”, this paper contends that while the draft can be ethically inappropriate in certain situations, in others it can be ethically justified. Utilizes Platonic model from Plato's Republic, John Stewart Mill's theory of utilitarianism, and Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative of reason to support this contention. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
