re: But hey, if you don't believe in a draft for law enforcement, that means it's not in your makeup to risk your life in serving the public and upholding the law, right? Or if you don't believe in a draft for firefighting, that means you are taking the sacrifices of firefighters for granted, right? So you equate fighting to defend the freedom that this country has offered to you, to fighting to defend the country from fires, or garbage? A week after Pearl Harbor, my father enlisted. One kid, one on the way. No idea if he would survive or not. Being a firefighter or a garbage collector are both honorable professions. But fighting a war for your country is a higher sacrifice, regardless of your casual attitude towards soldiers as normal workers. You are so cool about your citizenship it has a tendency to make me sick. Ask hundreds of thousands of families in this country about sacrifice. You are living their sacrifice everyday. But I suppose to you, a recent immigrant, they are just workers. Seriously Ten, I don't want to talk about this anymore. John
