Will Grigg reminds us of what Chris Manion’s late father, Dean Clarence Manion — a giant of the old conservative movement — had to say on conscription: “An important economic byproduct of war is slavery…. The outstanding example is the military draft. No sane person would deny that a draftee’s term in the armed forces is involuntary servitude…. The draft is both slavery and a contingent death sentence.” — American Opinion, May 1968
