Are you looking forward to the draft, self righteous hypocrites?

He's just trying to make a point, his proposal will never be passed into legislation.\nWhat a partisan waste of government time.\n\nI do believe that ALL young Americans should serve the country for 2 years either in the military or some other capacity as a pre-requisite for the privilege of attending college. The social ills which plague or society may find some cure with the self respect and discipline that military service teaches along with the healthy dose of the "real world" they would receive.

wishful thinking on your part

No, there is no draft, therefore they signed up of their own freewill. It does not exempt them.\n\nBanger, seriously since you asked this under law & ethics and are getting alot of yes's verus my only no- please post under military, perhaps active duty people or vets can help you better.

NO! no draft... look into the draft during Vietnam... I still think that is the worst thing this country did.. took young men, straight out of high school, whose biggest problem was whether or not a certain girl liked him, to throwing him out of a plane in the middle of a jungle to run for and fight for his life, and watch his friends die in front of him, with hardly any training. It's sad.. and the US learned from it, and it will never happen again-and no democrats do not want a draft because I'm a democrat and I sure don't

I do not think there will be a draft, but as far as who is exempt, we would never know until they actually implemented a draft.  I am sure the rules would not be the same.

No.  The american people will not agree to a draft.\n\nIn fact, I don't think the military will agree to a draft.

I believe that they would be, there is so much hype involved in the NFL draft, both before and after. Think about it, there are numerous sports magazines, tv channels, sports programs that devote weeks prior to the draft telling us who is going to chose who,and how it's going to help the teams. Then they spend another week analyzing the picks... either they have way to much spare time, or there is a demand for this info. I know that I couldn't get enough of the feedback on my teams drafts...

Perhaps "Chainsawisback" would have been content if you would have ask "Do you think the draft should be reinstated and women included."  How petty some of us are.  I will stroke you "Chainsaw" you are so smart!\n\nI am all for reinstatement of the draft.  I believe that everyone should have a legal and moral obligation to protect the government that gives them the opportunity to live a better life.  \n\nWomen have fought for and won equal rights.  Rights I believe they deserved.  Along with equal rights should come equal obligations.\n\nNo one should be exempt except those that are mentally or physically impaired.  Those that object to war can work in social service programs or National Parks. \n\nMany in our country get a jump start at the better life by avoiding public service.  Many get rich while others make it possible by serving, fighting, dying and being injured. Too many politicians that involve us in wars have escaped service in the Arm Forces and this should be stopped.  The freedom all Americans enjoy should be paid for by all Americans.

I would not wait to be drafted.  But I have served my time during the "First Gulf War" and am now considered to old for military service.\n\nIf called back to duty - I would go without question.

No..........I don't.........I have a keen outlook on life and don't blame America's faults on anybody but those we elect and ourselves.  \n\nWhat are all these people who post so vehemently going to do when this "mess" is all taken care of by deportation?  Yep......find another outlet.......thats right......haters.....hate.....and this has brought out the BIGGEST  and the (ooh was going to say best.......but I can't call internet haters the best).....umm most apt to post.

If by "support the troops," you mean, "bring them back," yes.\n\nIf there's a draft, I'll be relocating to Canada.  I'll be damned if I'm going to risk my life for some idiotic reason like an invasion of Iran.

No. My war was during Vietnam.  Hopefully fewer and fewer will. I tend to think most of the young Republicans are chicken hawks, like Vice President Cheney who had 5 deferrments from the draft.  With the support for this war dropping, and a growing number of AWOLS and desertions, I am not so sure the military is so popular these days.  It is being used for a number of ungodly things these days, as the US is changed into an Evil Empire of its own. \n\nA number of friends of mine want their kids to keep avoiding the recruiters until this administration is gone and the war over.  Not this war, not this time.\n\nI wanted to add something: I joined the Navy during the Vietnam war way before I ever could have been drafted. \nAs a kid onboard a destroyer, I found the experience to be a very rewarding and meaningful experience. \nI would do the same thing all over again. \n\nHowever I can not find my way to support this war and this gang of thugs.  The problem is there are inherrent contradicitons.  The Vietnam war was just as immoral and Nixon was almost as evil as Bush...but I did not care.  I wanted to run away and go to sea.  I got to do that.\n\nBut Bungie, Yes, why NOT bring back the draft?  I don't see any domestic sacrafices being made if we are at war as the president says.  Reinstate the draft and let the chips fly.\nThe thing I won't do is show disrespect to whomever is serving or has served - I just may not agree with them.

Draft dodgers are spineless and they are useless to us all.  I am an 2 time Iraqi war vet and currently still in the Marine Corps.  I can not understand how anyone could sit there and enjoy the freedoms that they have... and not be willing to fight for them if necessary.  I joined because I felt that I should do my part and help protect the freedoms that I have enjoyed.  You can't truly appreciate the freedoms that you have without never having to give them up.

If things keep going the way they are, there will be no choice but to have a draft.  Especially if our idiot president goes after Iran.  Military recruiting is at its all time lowest and with good reason.  There are barely enough people to cover where we are.  We'd never be able to occupy Iraq, Afghanistan AND Iran all at the same time.  Add to that the rumblings in Korea?  Yeah, a draft would be imminent.  And no, i would never in a million years send myself, my lover, or a child to this war or Iran.  I support our troops, but I know how miserable they are and how mad they are at the government for putting them were they shouldn't be.  My loved ones will not fight for Bushs money or his ego.  \n\nThere is a difference between fighting for freedom and whats right versus what we are doing now.  Its so sad. =(

Sorry Jack, I love my country but I am not going to let my only son, whom I was told I would never have, to enlist in the military. I think that since he is the only son, they won't take him anyway. Besides how mature and responsible are 18-25 year olds. If they draft, they should take the 30-40 year olds. They have more sense.I am against the war in Iraq but if we need to go to war, I think we should send all the criminals who are in prison instead of using our tax money to feed them mf.
