All of the men in my family were drafted...my Dad, my brother and I... so I really have no objection to the draft as I have been there and done that. Our military is getting spread pretty thin and it needs to be beefed up. Sad but true.
I agree with you. Perhaps, it would straighten out some of our misguided youth out their and some of the hoodlums out their too. I also think that the US should have gone into Iraq full sweep instead of little attacks here and there. This has cost more lives, time and money. Just my opinion. I'm no expert but I think this was the way it was done before and it was a better strategy. Anyone care to correct me may do so, please. Hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving.
