I agree, except for one thing: If a politician votes for a war, every
eligible person in their family should be IMMEDIATELY enlisted. No
exemptions of any kind. And, as soon as the shooting starts, the get
assigned to the most dangerous job possible. I don't care if they're blind &
deaf and missing a leg. They can wash dishes in a mess hall near the front
lines.

The draft was the best thing that happened to me. I joined the Air Force
to avoid the draft and spent 4 years away from home, parents etc. Learn a
lot more when you are away -- Kind of kicks you out of the nest..

Yeah, but my plan might force these idiots to think a bit harder before
behaving like sheep and backing idiots like Bush and pigs like Cheney &
Wolfowitz. Round up their kids & grandkids. Have federal marshalls pick them
up, if necessary.

That's a bunch of crap. The volunteer service has been working fine
for the past thirty years. It's one of the things that shows Americans
truly love their country and are WILLING to fight for it. The draft is
a political tool used by lefties to make themselves look good.

Virtually the entire congress voted for the current war. Don't you think
their young relatives should be in Iraq getting killed or maimed, along with
everyone else's?

They were chosen to lead the nation and make difficult decisions, they
weren't chosen to be warriors. No, I don't think our leaders should be
sending their families to the front lines. There would be the
potential for their making decisions based upon fear or the potential
for their children being kidnapped or any other scenarios. If their
family members wanted to serve that would be a different story.

We all need to make difficult decisions. But, if my kid does something bad,
I don't go to my neighbor's house and punish his kids.

I was planning on going into the Coast Guard Academy. I was on track to be
admitted when I got washed out for medical reasons. They ended the draft
before my 18th birthday, too. My dad was very disappointed in me for years
afterward and we didn't talk much.
