"If McCain Wins, YOUR CHILD Gets Drafted"
Keeping moose, and War, on the table.

"If McCain Wins, YOUR CHILD Gets Drafted" is the hand crafted sign that adorns my car's rear window. Both McCain and Palin have made one thing clear, they are ready to keep the US engaged in shooting wars around the globe. By no means a military expert, I don't see how we could stay engaged, even at our current levels, over the next four years without re instituting the draft. Blackwater, et al can provide security for key personnel. They can conduct limited firefights. They cannot fight a war. If we become engaged in Iran, or the Caucuses, or anywhere else, I don't see how the any president could avoid re instituting the draft.

Hammer this simple point home.

Are you ready to send YOUR child overseas to kill and die?

Also, I have no faith that the current Neocon regime, or the next Neocon regime, would honor CO status.

If McCain Wins, YOUR CHILD Gets Drafted

Short, simple, and personal.

6. Yep. My 17 yo son told me if McCain wins he's enlisting, he does not
want to be drafted.
