Amendment 13 And A Military Draft

[Cletus]

That must be not counting the ones that died kids, or went on to be homeless or chronically injured because of physical or mental trauma and injury. If you and others want to died and hurt yourselves so others can profit and for no other reason, be my guest, but leave the more intelligent, peaceful people who want nothing to do with it out of it.

Keep telling yourself whatever lets you sleep better at night.

Some answer the call. Others hide and hope someone will answer for them.

Draftees answered the call.

[Cletus]

I don't see how a draft would help the US at this point. I am not convinced that a draft force would be adaptable to our modern warfare.

I am not in favor of a draft, but I see no reason it would not adaptable to modern warfare.

[Cletus]

It must also be cowardly to not jump in open traffic. What absolutely absurd logic.

There really is no comparison between the two, but believe whatever makes you feel better.

Ending conscription is long overdue. At very least it should be means tested, or left to the families of the politicians that advocate new wars.

Perhaps. I do think that we could not afford it.

I suppose some of us that were drafted and served honorably, we are less sympathetic to those opposed to the draft.

Sure you were enslaved so should be others right?

[donttread]

The draft, whether you like it or not, did much to develop kids into men.

You're $#@!ing kidding , right?

[Cletus]

You're $#@!ing kidding , right?

Why would I be?

I made a statement with which many draftees would agree.

Draftees answered the call.

Th "call " to what? Exxon glory? Haliburton proifs for others? Re-elections ? See if we were invaded we wouldn't need a draft, even old $#@!ers like me would be out there with our carbines trying to take one of then with us. If our allies were invaded you probably wouldn't need a draft.
In fact these days "needing a draft" would be a good sign that you don't need to be in that war

[Cletus]

Okay.

It changes nothing, but okay.
