Please know that I agree. I am against a draft or anything like that. I just do think that some sort of two-year service would be a good thing for young people. Not necessarily in a war-zone, but doing something to give back to the country.

When you work and pay taxes, you are doing plenty for the country, just in a different way than serving in the military. I honor those who serve, but we should not make people serve if we don't have to. There is no reason to have a draft. It is a very dumb idea.

The person who said that only those who served should have the right to vote is an idiot. That goes along with the bad logic that if you are not a woman, you have no right to talk about abortion.

I am firmly against any mandatory government servitude. I serve my country every 2 weeks when they extract several hundred dollars out of my paycheck. Besides, I won't (and I don't expect others to) serve for liberals.

The only time I might accept a draft is in a time of extreme military need. But then, if the country were in such a conflict as World War II, I suspect that there'd be many volunteers.
