Forty years ago, Out Now March on Washington, 2011 stuck in forever war.

I was young and a HS senior. Feel like we must do it again. These fucking wars need to be over now. How many dead Americans in Bush's quest for stolen oil? What IS the mission in Afghanistan?
This country would benefit from a NO DEFERMENT DRAFT!!

This useless war over, Who wants to be the last man or woman to die for oil and Imperialism? Bring them home now.

1. these wars would have been over years ago if there was a draft

yet the same people who were drafted to go to nam are the same people who today sign up for the cash.

2. The streets would look like Cairo, Tunis, and Tripoli times 100

You may be right about the demographic, I never thought of it like that. The result still is a warrior class of society that is used for the dirty work. Now a no deferment draft might change that. Any war(s) this country fights should be fought by all, regardless of money and power. I think that coupled with campaign finance reform would be the best two things we could do going forward. I have a bunch of college and college age kids working for me that are damn near oblivious of the wars. On this same campus, UK, we were burning the ROTC Building. Shared responsibilities cold only make us more responsible. R
