I don't see anywhere in Mr. Mill's quote that indicates that those who aren't willing to fight should be forced to do so.

And don't lecture me about serving. I am VERY familiar with it right now. I can't imagine anyone in the military who wants to serve with people who are only there because they have to be there. Talk about miserable.

In my opinion, those who are not willing to fight for this country or feel that they are forced to do so is because they either don't want their lives to be interupted or because they care more about their sorry butts than they do the lives of these kids who are fighting their wars for them.

Furthermore, in World War I and World War II, they were all draftees, so all these "draftees," (whom you seem to denegrated) who became heroes for saving the lives of their fellow soldiers, didn't stop to think whether they were forced or not forced to do so while on the battlefield.

Once the draft was ended in Vietnam, the huge anti-war protests stopped.
