We need a draft of ALL citizens 18 -25 because that shares the burden of the war fairly.

No one gets to be an arm chair general cheering the children and loved ones of OTHERS on, they get to pray for their own.

The loss of good paying jobs and the high cost of college is driving middle class kids with no where else to go into the service.

I say a shared sacrifice is needed

Okay...you take the first watch (with) or be in the foxhole with the person that was drafted and didnt want to be there...go ahead...

For those of you wishing for a draft, please think very carefully about your position...

An all volunteer, professional, military...is far better than a conscipted one.

You didn't read my references, did you?

The burden IS being shared fairly.

It must be very peaceful for you, cocooned in your ignorance and bigotry, content never to allow a real thought to enter your foot-thick 'noggin.
