You make some good points concerning the draft. Unfortunately, there have been and will be times when considerations of how the media might react and whether or not the draft should exist in a free society must be set aside. Nobody likes the thought of sending one's loved one off, involuntarily or otherwise, to war. But sometimes there is no alternative.

As Westy observed, when you need them you need them.

But sometimes there is no alternative.

Your thoughts are all right about this, and I'm not disagreeing with your ideas at all.

I do know that liberals have made a huge cultural change for about 25 to 30% of our country now. Happened during Vietnam times, and liberalism institutionalized it since. Way too many people........just look at "the 911 widows" for example......have bought the crapola about us being the evil in the world. They are viscerally anti-American, anti-military, anti-free market. Heck you have some fringe conservatives you could say are like that.

As long as we don't need the draft, I think Val is right that bringing it back would ruin our armed forces, our morale, and give a huge lift to our enemies (foreign and domestic......DNC) for protest, etc. It's the Dems that are talking about it spearheaded by Charlie Rangel and probabaly Slick. They're the ones that want this to happen.

Right now, at least the armed services are saying it, we are meeting our recruiting needs and goals........a great sign.

It's unfortunate that we have such ugliness in the "disloyal" opposition........ most liberals have truly become deranged IMHO.
