If your America doesn’t deserve it, or if you don’t hear the warrior call, then so be it, but you need the protection of those who serve, and since we have a huge population, and a tiny military, and still can’t find enough patriotic men to serve, then they sit in witness as American women and mothers take their place.

IMHO, having every able-bodied male conscripted is impossible. I’ll bet that at any point in time there are at least three million men of draft age. The services couldn’t handle an ocean of new recruits every two months. Where would we get the funds to pay them? How many more basic training centers would we need? This is a non-starter.

You and I are on the same team on this issue. Thank God our grandfathers and our fathers knew their duty and were men enough to do it.
