South America Vs South Korea Research Paper
Imagine if the United States was divided into two separate countries, a communist nation and a democratic nation. Pretend you lived in the communist nation. There you would have no freedoms and rights. Your economy is also declining. You want to reunite with the democratic nation, but they don’t want you back.

In order to have any chance of living up to our treaty, the U.S. might need to bring the draft back. This could instigate many problems among our citizens, especially men of draft age who would fall victim to this solution. I personally don’t want to be in the military along with many other people of draft age. This situation would only wreak more havoc on our economy and political state along with China’s and the unified Korea. There is no benefit to anyone in this
