My two older brothers came close to being drafted. One actually did. But as luck would have it he was sent to work in a military hospital in Colorado instead of Vietnam. My Dad was in WWII and never talked about it.
I have two nephews who joined. One joined the Navy and the other the Army. The one in the Army missed this war and is out. The one in the Navy is still serving but has not been over there,(That I know of).
I think the middle class seems to allow itself to be hoodwinked over and over again! The wealthy etc. just have too many avenues to pursue their interests. I think the coporations have a grip on this country like they never have before. I've heard there's a documentary on the web called Iraq For Sale. Sorry I don't like the idea of the draft coming back.Too many wars are started for financial reasons..... started by those who proclaim otherwise.
P.S. I think if you did manage to draft legislation that they could not get out of, I'm sure they would still be taken care of while in the military and not be put in harm's way.
