Example Intro paragraph Drafting is a necessary evil in order to win a war. The notion of drafting prior to World War II was not a novel item. During the Civil War, soldiers were drafted by the military yet sent substitutes. However, in World War I, a draft was needed to fulfill the United States’ armies. When the war was over, people were concerned that if the United States entered another war, a draft would be needed again. Though the U.S. did not officially enter World War II until much later and its involvement as a “peace keeper” and “aid” steadily increased, according to the article “The Road to War,” the public was leery about its future involvement and wanted something in writing. The excerpt from “World War II Conscription” described the Act and fall out from various events that shaped the Act. Finally, in “This Day in History,” once the Selective Service Act was passed, many measures were taken to safeguard the country from having the “wrong” men go into combat or be of service. Based upon these texts, the Selective Service Act was a reflection of what the country called “good” and changed to satisfy the needs and demands of the war.
