"..no one "sends their child" to war. its a volunteer military made up of adults."

I think that's an important point lost in Moore's emotional rhetoric, and Bill got caught up in it. No individual wants their son to die. But there are just causes for war. And our country has to have a military that is willing to kill and risk their own lives. And that military has to answer the call of the commander-in-chief.

Either we have a voluntary army, or everyone's son is eligible for the draft. (EVERYONE, no college exemptions!) But no parent is being asked to make the decision for their son to join the military.

In Canada, I can't get FOX news. From reading your posts it sounded like MM pounded O'Reilly. I don't know him much but I have a question, is O'Reilly really a conservative?
