The Military Draft
I support a military draft, both men and women. I drew my number in 1973 during the Vietnam War. My number was high and then the draft ended. It needs to be reinstated. Luke was drafted and he served. The war in Iraq will never end until all families are treated equally and thus serve equally. Then the draftees’ parents will be inspired to help the rest of us who are trying to stop the war in Iraq along with future unnecessary wars. The Volunteers have served bravely. And also long enough. Iraq can’t be a war that attracts only volunteers because Blackwater “guards”, being paid roughly $1000.00/day to protect the FBI which is getting ready to investigate them in Iraq, will soon be marching up and down our streets.
Iraq has to be a war for all of the people all of the time.
