no one has been drafted since viet nam, it's not likely they'll start again since they're talking about eliminating it

The main issue that will come up with any future draft is "women's right" to be drafted. I look forward to some immense hypocracy.
"its a free country" heh. I'm sure you have your points, but you've selected the wrong location to phrase it in such a way.
I have family in the military. He's there on his own terms, according to him. Either that, or he's convinced he is. Either way I'd prefer he didn't die, but no more than I prefer he doesn't kill. When he was back for a month, I never did feel comfortable asking that. If he can kill on his own terms, and he can die on his own terms then he, and a buttload of people can feel some sort of pride... but it won't be from me.

draft probably wont happen. had the draft ever started, it would have happened right when bush sent us in after the not-present bombs of mass distruction. it was also just after 9/11 and would have made it much easier to do. but now people will fight against it. but technically speaking, as an american, you are supposed to do your service to your country, unless you leave. things dont come for free. this being said, i hope i never, ever, ever have to go to war.
but twere i to be drafted by the usa, then yea, id go without complaining. well, a little complaining...

If someone had attacked my country (ie WWII) I would go join up immidiatly, draft or no.
If we were ATTACKING someone without a legit cause (ie the current war in Iraq), THEN I would just say fuck it and.. Well, stay in Canada (Dual citizenship rocks).

then its not a service. the whole point of service is that you dont choose what you do. you are told and you obey.
im not sayin its right, it just what it is
(btw, with proper voting, petitioning, informing the public, etc. we could stop our government from invading other countries before the actual comand is given.)
