I would like a few opinions regarding an issue which I have become much more concerned with, the draft.
Bush, the lying sack of shit that he is, keeps saying he would not institute a draft. But the reality of it is, the Iraq escapade will continue for many years to come, and W, e.g. Witt-less, will likely add few more wars if he is re-elected.
My dilemma is that, as a physician, I will be called up first. The medical draft has already been planned according to a host of web sites. I have done four years in the USMC and know full well what military service is like. My life becomes irrelevant to the cause.
The problem is that I do not believe in the cause. I find my position conflicted. As a doctor I am not engaged in killing the enemy, but helping save the lives of American kids who got sucked up into this nonsense. Our fighting military are victims as are the thousands of innocent Iraqis being killed every day in Bush's Folly.
Thoughts on the subject?
If Bush institutes the draft 1. Move out of the US. Canada or maybe Amsterdam, I loved those crazy pot bars. 2. Hide, don't register and hope they don't find me. 3. Register and if they call me up refuse to carry a sidearm or participate in any action that would harm another human being. 4. Suck it up, Register and hope to survive. If Kerry institutes the draft, don't sneer, I am, and I suspect most of you are, more left than Kerry. He is inheriting a war he did not create and must now get us out while trying not to create civil war. And has not declared that he will immediately leave Iraq. Options same as above but I would be more likely to do 3 or 4 as I think Kerry honestly cares and will try to get our kids out of the Iraq quagmire.
