91. Sorry, but as someone of prime draft age ...
Edited on Wed May-23-07 10:53 AM by Akoto
I have no interest in serving in the military. None, zero. You know what? I'd be one of the first there in the event of a draft. Not the kids of some rich guy who has the money and legal backing to keep them out of it.

The whole "we'll demand no exemptions in the law" line is bullshit. There must be exemptions for the infirm, and there will be exemptions for the privileged. Where there's a dollar, there's a way. It's unfortunate, but it's how our country works.

You want to gamble with my life and well-being for a plan that won't work, you go right ahead. The people who you aren't targeting will just be sent over there to kill and die, as with the volunteers. Bush abuses them without regard for the opinions of the people, and he'll abuse us.
