My brother and a number of friends served in Nam. Basic cold, hard fact of life in play here: there is no such thing in this world as a cause good enough to draft people for. We need a basic law on the books clearly stating under what circumstances draftees could ever be used in combat and to me at least the bare minimum is a full declaration of war.

I am not a proponent of the draft by any stretch of the imagination. The only reason the liberals want it is so that they can try to recapture their 60s youth from which they have never emerged.

Today's all-volunteer military severely damps down any enthusiasm for their A.N.S.W.E.R./Code Pike/MoveOn socialistic cause.

I believe our Vietnam vets deserve much better than being called "slaves." I can't imagine anyone other than an aging "flower child" referring to them that way.
