I'm wondering what the party's feelings are on reinstituting the draft? I know my Dem friends are in disagreement with it but for the record this is one area I'm firmly for..Pls gang of 6, don't let that sway your judgement..

I read the article in today's sun Rep Howard Buck McKeon warned the House Armed Services committee that any cuts above the amt agreed to by the congress and pres sould result in reinstituting the draft..

I see so many advantges to doing this that it is unimaginable to me why we aren't doing it, providing we take the class deference and corruption that previously existed out of it..

1-forced service instills pride/self esteem/patriotism, and opens kids eyes to what the "real world " is all about..

2-exposes the underpriviledged to something other than the characters on the block,ie gangs/drug dealers

3- ends wars quickly as the rich would not support them, because their kids were on the line too

4-Teaches how to come together by better understanding those that are different than us...

I know there are negatives too,but to me the good far outweighs the bad..I know there is one conservative at least on here that went through the draft as did I..How do you feel about it?
