I don't want my children drafted either. The Military isn't the place to play nanny for brats. We want a volunteer Military without these weak spined ninnies diluting the pool. Don't want the type that call home to mommy crying that the Military wants to send them on a dangerous mission either.
The military isn't for everyone. I have many family members who have served our country proud. I have an uncle who fought on the beaches at Normandy. My grandfather's date on his tombstone in Soldier's Circle has his incorrect birthdate, because he fudged his age to join during WWI. My brother served in the states during Vietnam. He joined, he was not drafted.
I would not say that anyone who chooses not to join the military is a "weak spined ninnie", as you refer to them. John Kerry joined, and I think he is the scum of the earth. He joined to further his future political career. 99 percent of those enlist because of love of country, and their devotion to fighting for our freedoms.
Are you serving right now, or have you? If so, you have my thanks.
