<<What I was arguing for is a little more fairness in the way the military is derived.>> Rock, what could be fairer than giving every one a choice? You indeed did imply that those in the military were "suckers"....I take that to mean "dumb"AND that you know better.This is what we usually mean when we call others suckers,no? <<Poor people can still serve voluntarily and pick up valuable skills if they wish.>> Actually this isn't quite true. If there were a draft the military would have to be much larger and more expensive....unless some were excluded. Of course this is Bush's war not the peoples, wealthy or otherwise BTW a Draft didn't keep this country out of Viet Nam.And if there ever wuz a war that we didn't belong in that wuz it.
