imagine Carl Levin as sec'y of defense, Jane Harmon at CIA or as nation security advisor, Jaime Gorelick as Atty General, Sandy Berger as Secy of State.
That team, along with Kerry, a blantant liar regarding his own military service - does not have the moral authority to lead the country in my opinion - so I wouldn't blame someone in the military from not wanting to give their life to help them.

So, we may have to reinstate the draft in the future, under any administration. I am more concerned over the spoiled little high schoolers who think they don't have to sacrifice for their country, as those that have gone before them.
I'm in some way glad they are getting a wake-up call that they are not some privileged generation.

I have communicated with high schoolers from across the U.S., a few of them, and an unfair sampling since I come into contact with them in political forums discussing issues of the day, and while most of them are liberal - that can be understood. They are only products of their education. A few of them come out of high school hard core conservatives and pro-military.
The trend is for many of those high schoolers to become conservative at some point after graduation. And facing a determined enemy is often a very convincing force for conversion from liberal to conservative.

Kerry has made it clear that he wants tens of thousands of more military personnel.
The Bush administration and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld had made it clear that they do NOT favor a draft and that they are meeting recruiting quotas.
If anyone re-instates the draft it will be a democrat.

Now, this may not be entirely unrealistic. Their life expectancy is about 65 more years. Look back at all the unexpected, fantastic, unpredictable, and/or regrettable events that have taken place since 1939. There might not be an America in 2069, fer cryin' out loud (especially if Democratic Socialism continues unchecked).

And we know that high schoolers know everything.

Yes, mine can read very well, thank you, and they also think there will be a draft.

A few of them come out of high school hard core conservatives and pro-military. Our high schoolers are very conservative (more so than I am in some ways); they are pro-military but they are anti-draft.
