John McCain to reenact Military Draft
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/972184/john_mccain_to_reenact_military_draft.html?cat=9

"Does Senator John McCain intend to reenact the military draft when he becomes president? McCain has said a few things over the past few months that would suggest that he might. And even if his intentions are toward reinstituting a military draft, will he be able to do it?

In a town-hall meeting in New Mexico yesterday, a woman stood up and told McCain that the treatment of American veterans with regard to health care was deplorable when illegal immigrants could go on Medicaid and get health services they needed. Then she said, "If we don't reenact the draft I don't think we will have anyone to chase Bin Laden to the gates of hell."

McCain replied: "Ma'am, let me say that I don't disagree with anything you said and thank you and I am grateful for your support of all of our veterans."

Editorialists, journalists, pundits, and bloggers are going absolutely ballistic over McCain's response."
