People are lazy about stopping these wars
because there isnt a draft. Its that simple. If it doesnt hit them where it hurts, they live in lala land. My 2 cents today. Thank you to all the people out there who havent been lazy about speaking out against the empire.

3. How did conscription stop the British Empire from its wars?

:shrug:

Also your draft plan doesn't punish people over 26 who escaped military service in previous decades.

Equal treatment demands equal suffering.

4. anything that would make it hit home faster would be fine with me
when Bush started his occupations I saw all the flags on the cars and rah rah rah and yet no one wanted THEIR kid to go. Now I see many Dems doing the same thing. If there were a draft, a few people might hurriedly change their minds about rah rahing.
again, it doesnt hit home til it hits anyone personally, it seems.
nonetheless, I doubt I will see it happen. they will use mercenaries instead and pay for them with our taxes.
so they can get re elected.
I was just thanking the brave Dems out there who are anti occupation.
