Tell you what, how about you stop spending money on wars of conquest? And it wouldn't hurt either if you stop giving the third of all your foreign financial aid to a country that segregates its citizens.

quote:on a side note: hope to dissappoint you, but if i remember, people who were in college weren't really drafted as much as those who were not in college. i have about 8 or so years of college ahead of me, so that would put my final graduation from med. school when i'm 26, which is (i think) the upper bound for the range in the age group that is drafted. there is no possiblility that i would be drafted if they excuse college students

So it'll just be working class kids conscripted to fight Bush's oil war then.

Or to any of these

I was trying to be pro bush, but siplus was being too serious.  As for the economy, it is doing better but we are in some serious fucking debt.  What bush is doing is like someone charging $1000 to their credit card every month to increase their income.  Sure, you would have a lot more money but you would also be getting deep in debt.

Time and time again it has been stated that if the draft were to ever come back for whatever reason, it would be totally different from that of the Vietnam era. They don't want to have history repeat itself where the rich kids get to dodge the draft, others join college to avoid it, etc.. It would be a much more fair system.
