Another view on why we should not have a draft [View All]

[KansDem]

After listening to Sen. Max Cleland on Air America, another reason to oppose the draft suddenly dawned on me: It’s because we don’t want our children and loved ones trashed by the GOP.

Consider this: Bush et al want a draft to beef up the military forces in Iraq. In reality, they want more troops to pull Bush’s ass out of the fire. But, why should ANYONE support the draft if draftees stand a chance of being ridiculed by the REPUBLICANS when they return?

Let’s look at the evidence:
1. Former Sen. Max Cleland: Vietnam vet and war hero. Lost limbs in the line of duty;
2. Sen. John McCain: Vietnam vet and POW.
3. Sen. John Kerry: Vietnam vet and recipient of 5 medals for his service.

The GOP slimed these good men by questioning their patriotism. They smeared these veterans for political reasons.

So why let BushCo send our children and love ones to Iraq if they plan to spit on them when they return? :grr:
