Professional Army beats the pants off conscripts anyway

draft is slavery

[Newbomb Turk]

If the draft is slavery how do you feel about those soldiers who have served honerably and are being held past their retirement date. I have served for 26 years and am slated to be out the 15th of next month but the Army is forcing me to stay.

How does that square with the other 98 percent of Americans who never lifted a finger to join the armed forces?

Personaly I do not support the draft most likly because I have a 15 year old son, My daughter is already in the Army now, But the talk I hear from everyone is they are leaving the military as soon as the stop loss is over.

draft is slavery

Was it slavery in WWI, II, Korea or Vietnam?

Is the WOT as important as, say, WWII?
