I think those Democrats are stupid, and should be removed from office in place of Republicans

Not because I'm against a possible draft if WHEN the time merrits it.

But because their logic is so flawed, that it only proves them to be super idiots.

The Draft sure didn't stop politicians in Vietnam!!! A much more unpopular war than what is to come.

Sincerly,
no signature

It's a stupid ploy by anti-war people. They figure if they scare the public, then the public will stop our future attacks on Iraq and possibly on North Korea.

The military would be worse off if a draft was in effect. The draft will only be used when the military can't handle a war currently taking place....and that's not a good thing.

I like the idea.

In fact, I think they should have a mandatory draft of any elected or appointed public official's children (not everyone; just public officials.) And I'd love to see how loudly Bush rants when his darling twins are serving in Korea and in the Gulf.

Stupid, stupid idea. Their motives and reasons behind it are PATHETIC. If we needed a draft for REAL reasons than I'd be for it. These democrats are ëpoliticizing.'

The nation is much, much better off with a volunteer force - people that WANT to be there.

I think you who responded that they were stupid for their remarks should be asked if they have ever been in military service and more importantly in a conflict where their lives were at risk. I want to hear from those that served in the Korean War or Vietnam War.

How can you speak to if the country should send its youth to war without themselves having gone through what the youth would?

cursedag - I'm an officer in the US Air Force...soon to be a Major. I don't want to be chasing down hippies and losers in my unit who don't want to be there. Spending my time handing out Article 15s, LORs, etc to draftees who don't want to be there is a waste of my time and makes the unit inefficient.

It's a joke that people with NO military experience and/or distaste for the military want to tell us how to run things. Stay out of our business and get out of our way....
