88. Your natural reaction shows why a draft would be a good thing.
It's far too easy for imperial politicians like Hillary or Bush to speak of sending "volunteer" troops into war.

Not so with the children of parents who know better. And that's why we need a draft: to incur the concern and rage of parents like yourself.

Until such a day there'll be very little to curb the behavior of our leaders. They'll go on and on wasting the lives of those who have no economic choice but "service," and no one to guide them in writing CO letters.
