Yeah, this draft ain't gonna happen. Why?

Becuase if it were to go through, it would be political suicide for those involved, including the president. Barely anyone wants a draft, and the memories of vietnam are still fresh enough to make people see that the draft is not a desireable thing.

Yeah, and Bush ain't got nothing to do with it.

Regardless of whether or not Bush is to blame for a draft that will probably never happen, there are still plenty of other reasons to dislike him. At least 1248 reasons, in fact.

I don't believe the draft will happen. Many Americans in this day and age are not prepared to give up their sons, and especially, their daughters to the military. Anna Quindlen, in an issue of Newsweek that came out several weeks ago, wrote a very nice and convincing article as to why the draft will never happen. It would cause such an uproar that I don't believe it has any possibility of coming into effect.

I am not terribly worried about it. I am more concerned about George W. Bush being re-elected for another four hellish years. I fully intend to do my part in November to see to it that it doesn't happen. I'm sorry, Viper. I cannot, do not, and never will respect him.

If I get drafted to the National Guard I'd be a happy camper.

Then Id be getting paid.

Maybe trhey're drafting people because weve become So bloody DECADENT?

If we were a country full of brave warriors we could accomplish anything.

An The "Iraq Theater of the War Against Terror" is not about oil.
It is about removing that scum Sadaam Hussein.

And National Public Radio is VERY biased. Matter of fact most ths stuff they say is lies.

Croteam6 I wold not worry. Bush's out of super pills, and hes got a case of the twenty year jinx. Most of you Bush haters forget that (I don't really care either way I just don't want to have clinton and clinton in the white house in 2008.) My dad got activated and I hated it, but lets face it the middle east isn't exactly the freindliest place on the planet. Something needs to be done about it, but what?

Decadent Shmecadent. A nation full of warriors is a nation full of dangerous men.

Next order of buisiness: The war with iraq was not about oil, nor have I ever said it was. but what it was about was "see! see! look what I can do, daddy!" I have yet to see a legitamate reason to actually go to war. Removing Despots is the job of the CIA as far as I'm concerned, and even then I'd only get behind it in extreme cases like Sadam's, who was a sadist as well as a tyrant (Machiavelli taught me that a smart dictator is good for his country. Saddam was very good at staying in power, but he was not smart).

Being a warrior makes not one dangerous.

A true warrior is disciplined and calm.

He will not strike without need.

He does everything as if he is in combat; with Bushido focus.

This hatred of fighting is disgusting.....being a martial artist in the US a is a bitch....

I'm a martial artist. I live in the US. Moreover, I know several european martial arts (for instance, rapier as done in period, not the pithy fencing practiced now... and knife combat), however do not consider myself a warrior. Death is death. Pain is pain. I chose to inflict neither upon anyone. This is the issue I have with war. For every man killed, there is a story, a voice that has been silenced, a family that mourns. My only fear of dying is to be silenced while I still have something to say, and similarly fear ending other lives for the same reason. To construe this as disgusting... My hatred of war is simple: it is a form of zen and a universal golden rule: live and let live. Nothing more, nothing less.
