Re: How about the draft??
Draft isn't needed. But if it were to be needed, then, so be it. There is allways the "conciencious objector" loophole for those who object. But I'm more in agreement with GMG3 on this issue, and it should be manditory to serve one's country in some form. And every youth should be taught basic training.<br />Of life's lessons, these are personally,amoung the most often recalled "banks of knowledge" I've ever relied upon in times of need.<br /><br />As for the "lock-step", "Regime" retoric, I take it to proclaim just what it appears to in print... And that is cliche' partison trolling in it's purest form.<br />Although you may chose the words carefully, the public is not quite as gullible as it was in the late 60's to this old brainwashing technique. They've iether seen and lived-thru the useage of these tactics first-hand, or were raised by these victims of such tactics.<br /><br />The draft is only an option if the numbers volunteers are insufficient to accomplish victory. But where I might differ here, is that to me, defeat is not an option to victory. Like it or no, there are enough Americans left who remember 9/11, who will take-up arms to defend us, if not, just to "get-even" .This doesn't even enter the numbers who "just want an education", or to "gain employment". Some may feel the price is too high. but as in other wars, ask yourself, What will be the costs if we were to choose capitulation?
