Reply #12: Ask yourself if you're willing to answer the GOP call to murder

because at that point that's what a draft would be.

I supported our troops (i.e. I want our soldiers to stay alive and come home safe, to be well equipped, well cared for...and well informed) who were in the service and who went where they were assigned. I understood how hard it is when you have signed an oath to even consider objecting to your orders even if you suspect things may be awry because you are getting conflicting messages and you need to take care of your family etc.

But for those who are not enlisted...who have signed on oath, and who now have the lessons of the last 3 years...there are no such excuses. Who would respond to that call to join the Bushista's and wage war?

Fortunately for me I did my time and am far beyond the draft age...but if I were a younger man...I would be asking myself this question very seriously.
