.....does it always have to be partisan intended? "party's view"?
How about a straight forward, what do you think of the draft?

Answer: I am all for the draft being mandatory. Always have been as long as I can remember. The positives you list and many more far out weigh any negatives.

Unfortunately in this day and age and mix in America it is a wasted and mis-understood concept. Just watch the politicians do the dance if the subject ever even gets any more air time. Their dance would be to worry how to represent the subject that keeps their re-electability in tact....NOT what is good for America.

btk....no R or D required!!
