Whiskey Rebellion 086: Alice's Restaurant

In the past two weeks, courts in Texas and New Jersey have ruled that the Selective Service's rule that only men must register is unlawful. Frank and David discuss the history of military conscription, including:

• How issues of class and privilege have often divided Americans over the draft
• Why the draft in Vietnam was so controversal
• Why Americans still register, even with an all volunteer military
