Why NOT a draft? I am generally against conscription, BUT, we are witnessing constant wars with no one paying for them monetarily or personally.
If these neonons and right wing warmongers want war, then WHY shouldn't THEIR kids go fight them...
Robert Kennedy in his last campaign chastised rich kids getting deferments and shirking their responsibilities as citizens.
If there were a draft, maybe we would have a REAL debate and dialogue about war?
Parents of soldiers killed in SE Asia were one of the prime components of ending the Vietnam War. That's why Bush et al did not want a draft: he and his buds had a war machine without accountability to the parents of draftees.
