"Lack of Will" is correct"
I don't know if that's corrct. When I was in the military in the 60's we had a draft. I got paid less than $2 a day.
When you have a volenteer force, you can't pay that low. Today an E1 makes $13,809.60 and an E4 makes $18,032.40.
How do we press him into service as Fred Thompsons' VP, or failing that a run for the presidency? He is the only Dem I would ever consider voting for.
Can anyone tell me why he stayed a dem?
Where's the "Draft Zell For President" ping list?

I hate to be a d**k (and cliche) but your paycheck is more important than your freedom?
Not to mention the fact that I was speaking about World War 2 when 99.9% of the USA was backing our troops in every which way possible without a draft. THE WHOLE COUNTRY SACRIFICED so we could exterminate the evil from the world. Let me know when the whole country dropped everything for this war and put all our focus into supporting every aspect of exterminating the terrorists.
Now he is probably the only Democrat I would ever vote for President. However, I know his party cannot stand him.
This is a great place to post the 'Rudy video' that is now on top of the Drudge headline.
LIEberman? You gotta be kidding. This radical pro-abort has bamboozled too many decent people on this issue.
It is revelatory of Lieberman's total lack of conscience that today, he brags about his record on "women's rights" and that he rates a 95 percent pro-abortion voting record.
As a 1988 Senate candidate, Lieberman made many, many pro-life pledges to Connecticut religious leaders when he was Atty General running for pro-abort Sen Weicker's seat.
Based on Lieberman's internal polls indicating pro-life votes were there for the taking, Lieberman assiduously courted Catholics, and made pro-life promises that he had no intention of keeping. His "promises" to pro-lifers were so convincing, Lieberman was touted as the pro-life candidate and he gained a lock on the pro-life votes he desperately needed to win. Lieberman got into the Senate----with pro-life votes.
Once in office, Lieberman turned tail and became an unwavering abortion rights supporter, voting consistently pro-abortion; this self-styled "Conscience of the Senate" voted to uphold partial-birth abortion on six separate occasions.
LIEberman can never hope to achieve the integrity of a Zell Miller.
I should have said current circumstances instead of current situation.
I am referring to the current demographics, low unemployment, aging popultion, current economy in general, etc.
Lieberman's a pro-abort.
A brave Statesman has finally, in public, connected the dots. It's also ironic that his political party - the Dimocraps - is responsible for federally funded abortion and stopping the fix of SSI. Both parties are quilty of pandering to illegals.
I woulda had 4 buy my husband was imagining 4 in college so we stopped.
