    i think we should bring back the draft

    I understand it will have no affect on me,
    but it would sure make others that do not pay attention
    raise their heads from the I phone.
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    In a world of snowflakes,
    be the heat..

    I have nothing but the utmost appreciation and respect for our military PERSONNEL, but the commanders, the "rules of engagement" and the "Commander in Chief" leave a lot to be desired.

    I would be all for a draft.... it would do these apathetic IPhone wearing "millennial" kids (the 20-30 age group) a world of good.

    But what then? Have my sons sent to a desert 1/2 way around the planet to a country that hates us, doesn't want us there with their hands tied behind their backs by "rules of engagement" and whining civilians back home who piss themselves every time there's an unfortunate "collateral damage" accident?

    Sorry, but I don't want my kids shot, blown up, horribly mutilated, killed or beheaded on video just so that the President can draw another line in the sand with his golf club.

    To defend OUR Country, no holds barred... sure... in fact I would enlist if they let me. But to play a politician's sick game while defense contractors get rich drinking the blood of OUR children? No fucking way!

    As long as Chelsea and the rest of the children of politicians are included I'm all for it.

    Oh no... politicians won't send THEIR kids to serve. They want YOUR and MINE to die for THEM.

    Military service is so beneath their ivory towers... hell their hands might get dirty!

    No fucking way am I sending anybody to the draft when literally every branch of Government is occupied by traitors.

    I think there is something to be said for compulsury military training. Even it it is only 6 months to a year. Extra benefits should be given to those who volunteer for longer periods of service though.

    there will come a time when the patriots will not join. I understand, perfectly, you and Krup. but I am tired of people voting and having no idea what it really means.

    You said the same thing I said... except a lot better.
