If we are serious about this war reinstate the DRAFT then lets see what happens.

We had the draft during Viet Nam. Opposition to the draft was the primary tool the anti-war crowd had to turn public opinion against it.

And we would give the Democrats that weapon again because????

The volunteer military is working quite well, thank you.

We need a draft of ALL citizens 18 -25 because that shares the burden of the war fairly.

No one gets to be an arm chair general cheering the children and loved ones of OTHERS on, they get to pray for their own.

The loss of good paying jobs and the high cost of college is driving middle class kids with no where else to go into the service.

I say a shared sacrifice is needed
