Ten, re: So you're willing to see fellow anti-war citizens get conscripted and sent to the front lines just to make a political point? Absolutely. Or they have the choice of breaking the law. Why would you think that only folks that enjoy the military should bear the burden of defending our country from Iraq? Isn't it the duty of all citizens to sacrifice to defend our borders? That was certainly the spirit in WW2, and almost every war until after the end of Vietnam. It's the democratic, American way (until now). How about you, you are draft age. Do you feel ethical sending someone else in your place, for a war that you support? Are you too well educated to go, too many future prospects to risk your life for your country? What's the difference between you and the grunts in the desert, except that they are serving their country? Let's hear some more criticism of Kerry, as you enjoy your conservative safe and comfortable lifestyle, you smug SOB. He earned the right to protest that war and this war in the rice paddies of Vietnam. What the fuck have you done to pay for your citizenship. John

So you're willing to see fellow anti-war citizens get conscripted and sent to the front lines just to make a political point? A political point? Those who have supported this and any war comfortably from their living room arm chairs will never know the life altering event that war is. I can assure you that you would feel considerably more qualified to comment about the justificaton for a war if you or one of yours were equally likely to serve. It is a tangible deterrent against avoidable wars. Nothing political about that. Al
