There they go again...ignoring pesky facts that just get in the way of the agenda.

Just shut up and serve the state. That's why we let you get born.

In that exchange Rooney, like Senator Kerry and Congressman Rangel, implied that those who volunteer to serve do so out of desperation rather than patriotism.

It's one thing to argue in favor of a draft if there turns out to be a real need for it. It's quite another to slander those who went of their own accord.

Andy Rooney's opinions are worth exactly what you paid for them...

NOTHING.

He's become an insufferable bore and a$$hole.

Semper Fi

This DIMWIT apparently forgot about all of those "conscientious objectors" who fled to Canada to avoid the draft in the 60's. A draft only results in sending people somewhere against their will, to a place that they do not want to be, and as a result they will not do a good job while they are there.

This IDIOT just doesn't get it.

It's obvious Andy hasn't checked the pay scales and opportunities that the modern Military offers. I figured out for the grandson of my sister in law...what he would have to make to be competitive with paygrade E-3 and I think it was in the 15-20 dollar an hour range...and that didn't take into a account a noncontributory retirement account.... However, that being said our country lost something when it did away with the draft......it was a melting pot that the rich needed as well as the poor. Sure worked wonders for me....

What I noticed was Imus listing all his "successful" physicians and then indicating his wife, a healthy food advocate, was smarter than all of them.

Imus has to puff his very young wife since there is not much else he can do for her.

Rooney had a distinguished record as a Stars and Stripes correspondant during World War 2, but that was only because the Soviet Union was on our side then.

"Andy Rooney discussed the possibility of a draft with Don Imus"

Cold hard evidence (as if any more were needed) that a discussion between two half-wits does NOT equal one wit.

"You get people who join up because of problems in their life"


What a load of crap!! My 2 older brothers got drafted for Nam back in the late 1960s and they/we had problems.

So if you get drafted you don't have problems? This old goat should be put out to pasture.

Slavery comes in many flavors, including the draft.

Andy Rooney has long outlived his usefulness to the country or to himself. It may be time to leave him dribbling and drooling at the nearest dog track.
