Since you are unwilling to fight, why do you care if others make a similar decision? Are you afraid you may have to fight, if they won't?

Karen, I find it interesting, though, that folks who won't take up arms for what they consider Bush's unnecessary war get heaped with scorn hereabouts. Yet folks who would lay down their arms rather than continue to serve under Kerry even though the enemy is still a threat are supported by the thread. Why is that? Seems to me that each is simply deciding for himself what is worth his personal sacrifice. Its not that simple. If all the left did was not volunteer to be in the army - no scorn given, but they also denigrate those who choose to serve and their cause... I suspect that UW is right that in the WOT a lot of GI's will not re-up under Kerry. However, they will not turn around and beat up GI's who do serve or spit on them or denigrate that they choose to serve or question why. As a result we will get attacked and in an ultimate irony we will get a draft. John

Seems to me that each is simply deciding for himself what is worth his personal sacrifice. That is right. If Kerry is elected, millions could very well decide that his approach to winning this WOT is wrong. They will unite to fight this war in other ways. That is not unpatriotic. That is using your head and finding other means of preserving our nation. You will see the most unconventional tactics ever used if my intuition is correct. And each person who joins that fight will be patriots. That is the other America John Kerry doesn't see coming.
