Editorial on selective draft fairness and Bristol quota
The piece questions how quotas for cities will be set under a national draft and whether volunteers for the National Guard should count toward local quotas. It argues for proportional accounting across Regular Army, National Guard, and selective army, estimating Bristol’s share around 120 men if 1% of the population is used, but concludes the topic is speculative.
