If the civilian and military leadership fears a draft because of potential protests, then one of two things is possible:

- The leadership has no nads.

- The war ain't worth fighting.

lead I have to tell you, as I remember the Vietnam war, the anti draft sentiment was very high among college students. The protests began in the universities before they spilled over into the streets. They created the incentive the North needed to stay the course.

Ask Kerry he could tell you all about it.

leadpenny;

We will have to agree to disagree on this issue.

My opinion on this issue is based on the low level unit and it's operations, not the feelings at the national or high level military level.

If you check back on my posts in this thread you will see that I acknowledge that the vast majority of draftees would serve well.

The few who do not want to get drafted, whether they get in, burn their cards or go to Canada will cause problems way beyond their numbers.
