re: College kids in the U.S. are playing video games and looking forward to frat parties while their less fortunate peers are rattling around like moving targets in Baghdad and Mosul, trying to dodge improvised explosive devices and rocket-propelled grenades. There is something very, very wrong with this picture. If the war in Iraq is worth fighting - if it's a noble venture, as the hawks insist it is - then it's worth fighting with the children of the privileged classes. They should be added to the combat mix. If it's not worth their blood, then we should bring the other troops home. War are such a significant sacrifice that there should be an immediate draft, with 50% of the troops being inducted rather than career military. There should also be a real time tax to pay the cost. We should all share the sacrifice. Even chickenhawk Ten, though he doesn't want to and doesn't think he should have to. John
