Why?  Because every ignorant soccer mom with her teenage boys and her "freedom ain't free" bumper stickers would immediately switch parties.  Every young man and woman riding on the "But Bush is right!!!" slogan would quietly go Dem bc they have their sites set on frat houses and beer bongs and NOT Iraq.  So BRING IT.

BUT-this could also be very bad for those who probably already vote Dem.  Why?  well, I am damn sure that those "privilidged children" who have their sites set on sex and C- grades would somehow be left off the list, while every displaced Katrina victim would miraculously be drafted in droves.

I've always been in favor of a draft that didn't have any loopholes for the rich kids.  If's it's like Vietnam, we'll have the same brown, black and Appalachian soldiers dying all over again.  This time let's draft the Dick Cheneys of the country.  Now how he managed to get more deferrments after his college deferment, I'll never understand.  I was drafted after college and was refused a married with kids deferrment and the reason given to me at the time was the fact that I had already had a college deferrment. 

Maybe they just figured I would look good in a uniform.

This issue needs to be made more public. People need to factor it into their decision making this November. Spread the word.

Drafts should be reserved for civil wars and world wars.

Otherwise, pay the market rate.

but the reality is: pull back the militaries foreign commitments or get ready for a draft.
