I want to focus on the cost real life dollar cost of doing this with a real numbers from other countries that this has worked for ( Israel, Brazil, China, Mexico, etc) have worked. ……………………… You are president. You have sent a proposal to Congress to pass legislation that will establish a universal military draft. Organize the Executive Branch to get this proposal through Congress. I also need real names listed of current members of congress. Please consider the following questions as you write this paper: Please have the mindset as if you were Alexander Hamilton writing the Federalist papers.
your role in the practicum on the draft is to articulate the cost of the draft. If this is the case, please include in your paper numbers. In order for the President to make a case for the draft, he will need to explain to Congress how much it will cost. These figures will be important for Congress to study and later make adjustments to if a majority will decide to support the idea of a new draft.
One idea is to share what the yearly budget for the draft was during the Vietnam War, the Korean War and World War II, after adjusting for inflation. This will help lawmakers obtain some perspective as to how the new draft will rank with past drafts in terms of cost to the national treasury.
When laying out the cost, please be detailed. Yes, the White House will need to provide an overall total figure of the entire cost, but please break it down a bit to include how much of the draft will go towards training, how much will go towards pensions, how much will go towards salaries, etc. Will the yearly budget for the draft come out of the DOD’s annual budget, thereby diminishing their present resources or will your team advocate that the funds for the draft be a yearly supplemental budget of sorts to the overall DOD budget? The Pentagon’s top brass as well as their supporters in Congress will want to know this key detail.
Also, please pay attention and articulate as to how much the draft will affect the funding for the VA each year.
Lastly, please identify by name the Senators and House Members who the White House will need to reach out to in order to gain their support (or simply get them to agree not to oppose the draft bill) as it relates to the draft’s funding. These individuals are the Chairmen/Chairwomen of the Appropriations Subcommittees that focus on defense spending and funding for the VA.
