My College Republican nephews voted Bush and insist NO DRAFT is coming
I know you savvy DUers have posted some good stuff on here about the Draft Boards and the legislation-in-waiting.

Can you re-post it here so I can refer them (and their Bush-loving father) to it, please?

I don't know what angers me more, the fact that they don't believe they could be drafted, or the fact that they support a war they want other boys their age to fight for them!

Thanks in advance. Please provide resource links where possible.

1. Instead of showing the draft legislation
why don't you just drive them down to the local Army recruiting office?



If they think that *'s little war is so swell, they should, by all means, join up and volunteer to go to Iraq!!

7. they grew up middle class but come from a very educated family
that likes to think of itself as upper class.

It makes me sad because I always liked these boys, but the College Republicans got ahold of them as soon as they stepped foot on campus.

...like the Nazi Youth Party.

Their father was a Dem and then turned GOP after 9/11.

Their mom remains a Dem and is freaking out.
