wow... I totally disagree. you said "these people should be made to realize that, in being a patriot and a citizen, something is always at stake. a
draft may be the only way." So your saying that we should give up our freedom to be patriot.
You should really pay 5 times more on taxes then if you really love your country why not pay the bills.
If you support all these wars you should pay the bill of these wars not the people that was against it.
I am really sick of hearing Iraq was legit. I also never heard anyone here talking about why the U.S generals were at the hanging of suddam hmmm maybe
it was a friendly tea party ???
I can only say this if you like your country enough to give up your freedom you are free to do so but don't drag everyone else into it.
I have said this many times and will say it again. We need to find out every single person that voted for Bush for 2 terms and they should get the
bill from the bush admin of all the expenses occured since you supported him and think he done a great job you should be willing to get stuck with
the bill.
I seriously think everyone that voted for bush for both terms deserves to get the bill since it was their votes that allowed the damage to be done.
I am sure if we attack Iran we will have a draft because we have to many battles going on at the same time.
I don't understand why people think war is needed. I notice most americans don't know anything about the stock market. The stock market shows a
picture of our economy and shows how much the wars impact us over here in the U.S
First gas prices rose... then now we have food prices going up. Then we have shipping pricesing going up and then we have now airfare/taxies going
up.
We have cost going up and saleries going down. I bet most americans say hmmm that is good because if prices go up we then make a profit form it since
the cost of empolyess go down..ect..ect
I don't get why you say that a draft is a good idea. I am in college currently and their was a lady that works in the military and she told me that
there is talks about drafting, she hears this because she talks to other people that works with her and most of them know other people that work at
other military bases and they do get visits from important people top noch.
I know that if we do attack Iran we need a draft I don't see how we can have order in Iraq afganistan and pakistan.
but it looks like bush has to attack Iran in aug or sep if he dosen't he will be too late and there will not be a war.
Iran is trying hard to not allow this war to happen this is why bush is getting alot of road blocks to do such an attack.
If we do attack I am just saying our stock market will crash, because Iran has certain control on shipping routes which can effect us and also oil/gas
ect. He will strike our wallets.
Just to say that money in a war is the most powerful weapon, it's like fire the more of it the more fire spreads the less of it the less damage they
can do.
these are just my comments/thoughts about this subject (drafting)
If you seen that movie made my mikel moore fahrenheit 9/11 asking senators and congressmen if they would draft their kid to our war wnated a
signature he only got one 1 signature that was it.
The rest didn't want to. So it's like saying the rest of americans should be drafted but not our kids or family memebers.
So does a draft sound good now. I hope you watch that movie and then rethink about this topic.
Because I know if we attack Iran we will need man power which we don't have.
last 2 years I was in my last year of high school and military people kept coming after me to sign up with the marines and I will get a free hat and a
free computer game. I kept saying no. Then I get a call from navada some military base asking if I am interested in working in the army.
They asked me questions about my weaight, body fat, astma ect and told me that I am fit to be in the army. This was right after I registerd for
college where the fed aid money for college required me to fill out a form that will put my information in the draft database. I got the draft card
which has my info and what number line I am in the draft database.
The guy that colled me he called me back a week ago asking if I talked to my parents about it and what my decision is, which I told him that I plan to
go to college and if I do go in the military I would like to be in computers or in the airfoce.
He called again but this time my dad answered it and told him that we are not interested.
My dad has lived in the U.S for a long time and he said he never seen such desperation before.
Those are just my thoughts. What do you guys think??
