One thing I can't stand about Republicans (and there are a lot more

[raccoon]

than just one) is that they PROFESS to be soooo patriotic.

But if there were a draft, they'd be screaming bloody murder.

1. Chickenhawks

all gungho as long as it's not their blood or their sons and daughters being spilled. Sickening

2. So true.

3. What irritates me is that they seem to think they are the only patriots.

4. In all honesty, there should be a draft.

Back when Germany had a draft, you had to pick:
- Military Service: short service, good pay, need to be athletic
or
- Civil Service: long service, lousy pay, pretty relaxed

I took the civil service and worked with old and disabled people. Yes, it was depressing, but it's an experience one should make.

I think, being forced to serve in the military, or being forced to work with the least among us, that would influence lots of people against voting republican.

5. republicans put a 5-time draft dodger in charge of our Armed Forces.

that tells you a lot about republicans.

I fear for our honorable sons and daughters in uniform, as well as for our veterans. We have seen how Comrade Casino pisses on our veterans.
