I've allways felt that conscription was slavery... well, it is by definition.

But then I think that FICA is theft, and i don't even watch TV. In fact the only TV I own has a 5 inch screen for use with my UAFVs.  Oh and the only monuments I give a **** about are made by nature, and the constitution. I thought that what they did to that mountain in south dakota was disgusting. Taking a beatuiful mountain and turning it into a bust of four old men.. yeck! What a waste. So I guess by american standards that makes me quite insane.

If I moved back to the rocky mountains I'm pretty sure the ATF, or the FBI or some burea would come after me.

I don't know Hang, there seems to me to be some third ground here.

Is it ever possible that resisting a corrupt government's prosecution of a corrupt war would be a worthwhile, responsible and "american" thing to do?

...or does a draft negate personal opinions and values?

Cowards run away ... men of honor and conviction stand and  fight for their beliefs!
Muhammad Ali, and others like him stood their ground ... and won their fight.

I think that they should build the monument, right in the middle of Qubec.  The French deserve it ... what's more they need something as a reminder to always surrender, lest they forget. :D:D:D

Oh this is a must have.
Put it right next to the Richard Simmons monument to Flaming Gayness.

i agree, LBJ and Mcnamara were not only corrupt but also stupid, it took nixon to bomb the hell out of NV and end the war. too bad the democratic congress then cut off aid to the south and let the NV win 3 years later by default.
