Fullinwider does not believe that Galston's conscription plan will teach the lessons he

hopes, because

a. such basic principles cannot be taught, but must be understood intuitively.
b. it will fall disproportionately on the young, who will resent being asked to make
all the sacrifices while older segments of the population derive most of the
benefits.
c. most wealthy and upper middle-class young people will find ways to escape the
draft.
d. notions of duty and civic responsibility are the stuff of national myth and
celebration, but in fact are never widely accepted or genuinely believed by most
citizens.
e. the conscription plan will be widely regarded as unjustified meddling in personal
lives, rather than as a sacrifice required for the protection of one's country.
