[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should absolutely be drafted. If more Americans have skin in the game, it means more pressure on our leaders as they make the decision to go to war.

Wanna get white wealthy Republicans opposed to overseas military adventures? Send their precious sorority daughters to Iraq [b]to dig a ditch or clean the latrine[/b] as part of the draft.

I actually think our all-volunteer military allows politicians to be much more reckless with soldiers' lives. Too many Americans are apathetic and not paying attention because it doesn't really affect them.

I honestly would make a mandatory military draft for every American for two years after high school. Allow combat force to be all-volunteer, but force everyone to serve. You see a radical change in how Americans view foreign policy, the MIC, budgets for military, care for vets, etc.[/quote]

You are completely clueless about the military if that's what you think service members are doing in Iraq.  Have you ever met anyone whose been to Iraq?[/quote]

It was hyperbole, you moron. But someone has to do the grunt work - I'd rather it be a conscripted American soldier thinking about the meaning of service & the elite politicians who make decisions on behalf of soldiers than an overpriced contractor in McLean skimming a ton of money and then hiring some local (or an imported Filipino) for pennies on the dollar.

I want the American people to feel the full effects of our foreign policy. The best way to do that is have their young adult children participate with skin in the game. [/quote]
