we need the military draft.

While there are many fine examples of young Americans today, would you put your life in the hands of some random 19 year old draftee? Would you trust them to cover you and/or risk their lives for you on some street or in some building in one of the terrorist strongholds in Iraq, knowing that they maybe against the war, or more concerned about themselves than their unit?

I went into the military just as the draft was being done away with, and most I knew back then were glad. It's not to say that all draftees are bad - they certainly aren't, as the many wars that we've had have proven.

My father-in-law did in Normandy.
