(1,989 posts)It's time for old men to stop thinking of ways to send our children into war, period. You want to stop war. You don't have to go grab someone's unsuspecting child to send to his death to end war. JUST STOP FUNDING WAR. It will stop.
A NEW DRAFT is akin to this other stupid idea they had a few months ago. You know the one...we'll create a plan to reduce the deficit that is so heinous we'll do anything to avoid it happening...sequestration. What happened? It wasn't heinous enough to stop it from happening. So, the bright idea is to try the same idea with people's lives..."It will be so horrible, we'll stop war."
No it won't. Because they will always find a way out for themselves. So, yes. I agree. The only new draft I will support better put every single congress critter who agrees with this idea on the front line.
In fact, I believe that will stop war. From the White House, Senate, and the House of Representatives. Get a white horse for every single male or female interested in going to war and let them lead the troops into battle. Charge!!! THEN, they'll use a lot more discretion as to when and where we'll go to war, and who we give weapons to.
International Headline: The US has stunningly declared WAR unconstitutional.
