JF, let me put it this way. Your motives behind calling for a draft are not to institute some system of "shared sacrifice." Your motives are to make war a much less desirable option. And less desirable it will be, given how a draft will make our military much less effective overall. All you want is to see draftees being used as "human shields" that will make the war supporters think twice before sending them into battle. Only this time, the "human shields" won't be shielding the target, but instead will be drawing fire from the enemy. I find this sort of thinking worse than that of the so-called "chicken hawks." At least they are sending volunteers into battle. By the way, you would have made a great anti-draft demonstrator from 1940 to 1972. Would you have burned your draft card; gone to Canada, or gone to Vietnam? What makes you think I would have done any of that? If called, I would have served. How about you? Were you called, and did you serve? Tenchusatsu
