If the conservatives, including Bush, let the liberal reinstate the draft, it will tear apart this country in a way not seen since the 1860's.

Depends how its done.. I think this country is long overdue for a true 'rite of passage' type of military/citizenship training at say the age of 18/19... EVERYBODY would go, -- for say one year of the basics..
- No combat duty.. Leave the fighting to volunteers.
I went in at 18, rather than waiting to be drafted at 20/21, as was typical in the mid-fifties. Great experience, one that should be required for every citizen, imo..

And one thing I would guarantee.. After one year of boot camp, there would be a hell of a lot fewer whining liberals running about the collage campus.

You seem to forget one important fact, it is the 60's draft dodgers that are pushing for this draft. The hypocrisy alone makes me want to vomit.
