Nice mental image triggered of Boticelli's Venus, naked but with a big portfolio of ledgers and account statements.astromeria said:Yeah, I'm sure everyone thought I wafted ashore on a scallop shell with my retirement accounts in place, too
When I was twenty I was married with a baby living on the family farm. At 23 the farm went under (due to mismanagement) and divorce the same year. I had no home, no car, and no job -with responsiblities. This was my low point - I swore never to be in this position again.

And Not only should we bring the draft back, but have No deferrments. That is just a way for rich kids to avoid service.

Nords said:You old war horses veterans may see the draft as the cure to what ails American politics, but you're not doing the military any favors.
you guys willing to throw away all the progress that the military has made since the draft ended just to facilitate your political prejudices?
Go do your great social experiments with some other social institution...
