The tactic of bewailing the lack of a draft because it is an easy protest target is not new. Back in 1979(?) when registering for the draft was proposed as a reaction to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, I can still remember the president of NOW on television stating that she was against draft registration, but if it was approved, it should include women so that they could have the same opportunity as the men to protest by not registering.

Classic lib logic. No discussion on the merits, just the political stance.

Your last sentence gets to the real meat of the problem.

Liberals, most specifically, the Clintons (both Her Crusty Pantsuitness and the Bent One) view the military as just another issue to be spun in some way to their advantage.

They have no love for those in the military. No understanding. No compassion (past an occasional crocodile tear for the press) and no experience.

I think one of the biggest, most disgusting farces is to have Hillary Clinton on the Armed Forces Committee.
