im not saying being a democrate is bad im just saying that almost all democrates are against the war in Iraq because our president is a Republican, and Kaze i was refering to what was said in the article about college people not wanting to go to Iraq, i just said that i would rather talk about the draft so HTC doesnt lock the post

Draft isn't going to happen.

Kaze, if you were to visit Iraq and interact with the people, you might think differently about the terror issue. Perpetuating and living with it are day to day norms. Blindfold or not, you'll hear and smell the truth for yourself.

Fighting for something whether you believe in it or not is called personal sacrifice, which is a core value of the US armed forces. A soldier doesn't pick and choose his fights.

Some of you seem to have a pretty distorted view of military life. This is ok, though, since automoatons and generals little will continue to do the hard work voluntarily so others don't have to do it involuntarily.

Jet, are you saying you wouldn't fight for your country even though they need you? If they reinstated the draft it would because they really needed some men/women to fight. Even though you don't beleive in the war your still fighting for your country. I'd be the first to say I wouldn't go to the arm forces voulintarly (spelling) Call me chicken or whatever. But yet if my country had a draft I would be there because they needed me. You do know when you turn 18 you have to register with the arms forces anyway right? If you don't you can get fines. Not the same as enlisting. Just so they know who is avaliable just incase of a draft. But if there is a draft (which it won't be) guess your going to Canada

Very well stated.

Freedom isnt free.
to all the Vets that gave me my freedom, and to those currently securing it.

It is inspiring to me, everytime I see old footage of how America responded to pearl harbor. How even our citizens who could not serve in the military for whatever reason, worked 12-18 hour shifts in our factories that stopped making cars and the like & started producing planes, ships, tanks, and supplies to equip our troops with the tools necessary for victory.

I am 35 now, not real likely I would get drafted if they re-instated it. But if I didnt get drafted, you can bet yer sweet arse i'll be doing everything I can to support our troops.

On the same train of thought, I am disgusted with the way America treated the Vietnam Soldiers who answered the call of duty. I will not stand for any similar actions when our troops come home from their current duty.

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE
