Just remember. Leftist online usually are several degrees outside of reality. As such when what they say filters out to the real world it just alienates the average joe even further.

Well, to the extent they oppose the draft, this veteran agrees with them.

While I would support limiting the right to vote to those who serve in the military, I would not reinstitute the draft. A society whose young men and women are unwilling to defend it does not deserve to survive.

Perhaps you misunderstand.

The gang at Fark are not objecting to fighting for their country (a significant percentage are hardcore RKBA types), they're objecting to the idea of conscription.

I don't blame 'em. Ask me to defend my country, and I'll show up gung-ho providing my own significant firepower and training. Force me to fight and the fight won't be with who you tell me to.

It's the draft argument again.

What these jagoffs don't realize (thanks in large part to a Leftist-biased media) is that the registration for the draft was reinstated six years after the conclusion of the Vietnam conflict by none other than President Jimmy Carter.

Naturally, nobody in the media speaks ill of Carter or mentions this inconvenient little fact because he's a Democrat.

What a bunch of whinie babies, and there is no way that a draft will be necassary.

A draft would be a huge mistake, but if the Dem's get any kind of majority, expect it to be done.

They would like nothing more then to turn Iraq into the quagmire they claim it is, and starting up a draft would do exactly that, turn Iraq into a political football for them to kick around, as if they aren't doing that now, the scumbags.
