Plan to draft 18 year olds for UMST faces Senate, House
Anna Rosenberg announced the administration’s plan to draft 18-year-olds under UMST to ensure long term security at lower cost in men and money. The proposal extends service to 27 months, combines active duty and reserve manpower, and prompts hearings with scientists and educators testifying. Senators discuss broad public outreach as lawmakers receive heavy mail opposing lowered draft age while some call for separate consideration of the two proposals.
