At least she has actual convictions, unlike most war protesters.

And this has always been true. The Vietnam war protests evaporated overnight when Nixon signed the law ending the draft. Even though the war continued on for two more years.

Maybe. However, her general argument that the war is pointless and ill-defined should be much stronger, now that the POTUS basically has no freaking clue what he's trying to accomplish over there.

Depends upon the conviction in question.

As a former professional citizen soldier I share the contempt that professional soldiers have always had for conscripts.

As an American I am against conscription as a matter of military discipline AND a matter of fundamental rights.

As such I would protest the draft rather than the war.

I am sure that many of “anti-war” protesters were really just ‘anti-the gov sending ME to war’ protesters.
