re: Unfortunately, Al, they are running out of people. They will have to reinstate the draft.....I believe for the first time since Vietnam. All for Bush's stinking, little war. It makes me sick! I would love to see them reinstate the draft, even if it's only 20% of the total military. It's a natural political check and balance. Both men and women, no deferments. If there is even a remote chance that your kid might be the one dismembered by a roadside bomb, it tends to personalize the issue. John, in theory that's how it should work. In practice, the rich...our leaders......get their kids out of the service.....one way or another. That's what happened during Vietnam. In fact, Bush went AWOL from the Air National Guard and not the regular Air Force. They let the middle and lower classes fight their wars. If our leaders were required to have a family member serve before war could be declared, then I would be all for the draft. Unfortunately, that will never happen. ted
