I totally agree, all people should BE drafted and serve for two years. The two years after high school, and before college. If they don’t want to serve, they can never vote.

Wow, that’s pretty offensive.

No, it was courageous. It was also the truth.

Go White Knight somewhere else.

I was a draft board member in the era of Desert Storm. We were **this** close to drafting physicians. Never say never.

But you had no legislative authority to do that, and it's my view that no electable Congress would have given it to you.
