There was never a draft in peace time, right?

There really isn’t a draft now, although I realize men still have to register.

At the rate things are going I wouldn’t stop that right now.

I also agree with the other person who said you can’t draft everybody, it’s just too many people.

And forget that Ameri-corps idea. We need to be downsizing gov’t, not expanding it in any way.

Clearly our current problems with Muslims/Sharia are not going to be solved on the battlefield. Our future problems with them.....well, the idea is to avoid future problems, but right now I’m not feeling too optimistic.

What’s peacetime? It’s not peacetime now. Probably hasn’t been since 1941.
