If you have had any experience with draftees, you would have answered your own question.

The dems are in favor of it, so there must be something wrong with it...they're always wrong.

Actually, I suspect the reason the dems are in favor of a draft is so they can complain that there are nonvolunteers dying in a war not of their choosing. Their claims currently ring pretty hollow because we have an all voluntary military.

Do you remember Viet Nam? or have you read about it?

The Draft is just what the Dems need to re-stoke the fires of the Vietnam Anti-War movement. All the crys to bring back the draft from the Dems and Rangel in particular, are the exact same crys, almost word for word, that they used to protest the draft and call for its end as well as an end to the Vietnam War.

If the Dems pass it, I'm cool with it. But whichever party passes it will soon be a minority party.

Nothing, and I've had lots of experience with the draft and draftees. So did the so called "greatest generation."
