<The Gulf War did not need a draft because of it but if it did that was a war that the public would have and did support directly because it potentially affected everyones pocket books, ie oil....despite the fact Jim Baker said it was over jobs, jobs, jobs... Incidentally, the Gulf War was a turkey shoot>

I doubt that if we had to draft for the Gulf War there would have been overwhelming support for it. If we began to suffer high casualities, Would there have been strong support? Compared to WW2 when families willingly sent their children to war and stuck it out despite the huge loss of life and limb, there was not real support for the war.

"Bosnia....we are in Bosnia because it was and is a humanitarian mission, ie we went to stop and prevent genocide and ethnic cleansing."

Tell all those folks we bombed that it was a humanitarian mission. Hell we killed more people with bombs than they did.

We have routinely stood by and let far worse happen. Why did we find it necessary to act in Bosnia.

<we did it without the loss of a single American soldier to military action.>
How many of them did we kill. Their blood is on our hands. Many innocent people died.

< We did it because we want to be world leader and even if we don't, we are by default.>

I doubt that our status as a leader would change if we didn't send troops to Bosnia.

<It would seem that all the so called Christians on this thread should be proud of this operation and very disturbed that we didn't do the same in Rwanda.>

I do not think true Christians would bomb innocent civilians.

<Continue to bear in mind this is a volunteer army>

Yes we have them to do our dirty work for us.
