Selective Service...yeah, about that..
I think the talk of a draft is nuts, it was voted out by congress and can only be brought back by congress, and three bills to that nature have been struck down numerous times in the past few years, as recently as november of last year Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) has been trying to fight for the reinstatement of the draft and keeps getting shot down, as did the big General not a few months ago. I think for once our congress and senate realize that bringing back the draft would cost them their rather cushy jobs.
I don't like the current fight we've gotten ourselves into, but I don't fault the troops for that problem, and support each and everyone of them in their fight to do what they signed up for. I fear for my friends that have been deployed, but they know what they got into and a lot of them believe in what they are doing there, and a lot of them don't, they're as split as us who aren't in the service. I support my country and my troops and gladly tell people so.
And as sure as I breathe, if some jackass were to show up on shore tomorrow with an army and attack my country at home, I'd be more than happy to go to my closet and pull out the gun and step into battle for my community. But I'm not going to be told to go into some other country and do it.
