Dodging and drafting

[davewitley]

So, let me get this straight.

The *liberals* favour the draft because they want to hold the 
conservatives' toes to the fire and, good little liberals that they 
are, are quite happy to sacrifice their own sons and daughters to 
that aim.

The *conservatives* favour the draft because, well, they're 
conservatives, you know... keep the lower orders out of mischief... 
make 'em learn respect... camaraderie... happiest days of my life... 
good horsewhipping never hurt anyone...  enjoy it myself at Madam 
Payne's... where was I?

Oh, yes.  So the only people against the draft are those who care 
about boring common-sense stuff like US military effectiveness, the 
viability of the US economy, and young people getting killed.

I'm sorry to say it, but it sounds to me as if the return of the 
draft is a foregone conclusion.

:D
