Military draft poll

[cindy25]

The KC star has a poll on whether the draft should be brought back:

the NO votes only have a total of 53% so lets up that percentage.

Interesting comments.
The first sounds like an Obama soundbite - the second, Ron Paul logic.

Mandatory Service -

But not necessarily mandatory MILITARY service. We have a hell of a lot of problems that we need to deal with before they deal with us, and mandatory service that invests young people in communities and humanitarian efforts would be a good place to start. Options for that service - military being one of several - would, I believe, increase the rate of uniform service enough to shave maybe five years off the rebuilding process our military faces.

A draft is a license to invade Iran, N. Korea, and whatever other country suits the Carlisle Group (daddy Bush's cash cow) and Haliburton (the Cheney trough). Not having a draft is the only thing that saves this country from becoming the fascist power that the neocons want us to be.

I wouldn't be so sure. If presented with the right crisis, the sheeple will more than likely submit to a draft just like they did with Korea and Vietnam.

Yes. We're too willing to wage war without everyone's children being exposed to service

i was really surprised by my own reaction to this one. it's true. if the draft did come back... it would definitely encourage people to pay attention to what's going on. i null voted on that poll... sorry guys.
