[Bonaparte]

I'm satisfied that if there is ever a need for more people in the military than will volunteer, then those people will be called up. Until then, I see no need for a draft. I'm also extremely suspicious of these "community service" schemes. For students, there are already plenty of opportunities for community service for those who choose to do so. The government can only grow by shrinking the private sector, which is the same as shrinking our freedom. Let them mind their business and let Americans do what they've always done best, ie. produce.

My sentiments exactly! Kerry's schemes would be nothing more than a massive indoctrination program and/or a way to funnel money to favored groups. Little or nothing of real value would be accomplished and it would be a dead loss out of pocket.

For another thread, this one on how the left is trying to use fears of a draft, go here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1229888/posts

Seems like the left, reflecting their leader, can't make up their minds on this...
