If soldiers really run in step, singing disgusting songs of togetherness, that's another problem. Boy, are you clueless, Mq. That is exactly what works! lindybill@beentheredonethatgottheboots.com

Pay more money and upgrade the attitude, that's what's needed. Just say no to the draft. Thank you for the advice. But America has done quite well with the draft. And I for one believe America will do quite well again even after reinstating it. If it doesn't work out, we can always hire some Kiwis (cheap) to do the dirty work for us. :o)

<<< Pay more money and upgrade the attitude, that's what's needed. Just say no to the draft. Anyone trying to conscript you is the cowardly enemy. Conscription is just part of the same process of dehumanizing that we've seen recently [with more to come apparently].>>> How about just saying no to war and to killing people. It will only be a matter of a few years( I will not be here by then of course), when we will look back and say that they use to kill people (or people would kill each other)if they have a dispute. They would kill each other if the other person did not agree on stuff. My estimate is that it will be somewhere within the next 50 to 150 years that killing on a national level will not exist. Just 65 years ago, It would have been difficult for Europeans to envision a European Union - where I am fairly certain there will never be another armed conflict where the French Armies would be killing Germans, Belgians, Dutch, Greeks, Roumanians, or vice versa wrt to any combination of those countries military establishment. Similarly, I don't think there will ever be a military conflict within North America. It is a little bit more difficult to see the same thing happening in Asia - but those people are pretty smart. If the Europeans can set the example, the Asians can learn pretty quickly. Right now, the North Korean Peninsular, Indonesia, and Maylasia may seem far away from becoming a part of a non agression allaince. But, as I said they learn pretty quickly. If they can learn to build automobiles, DVD's, they can learn not to kill one another. I can really envision the day when our great grandchildren will be utterly amazed that we even thought that we had to kill people that we disagreed with.
