I think a draft that does not exclude rich, white kids would be
delightful. It certainly would bring an end to unjustified militarism on
our part.

I have no heartache with that aspect. But the post I responded to
said that "he is calling for a draft," and cites an article that tries
to make it sound like this Bush driven legislation.

I don't have a problem with conscription for all. There are of
course, people that shouldn't serve. There are legitimate medical
excuses - 'Roids and toenail fungus are not among them.

This would not bring an end to militarism on our part. Whether or not
any particular action is "unjustified" is matter of opinion. This
kind of draft will not turn the U.S. into a bunch a french pussies,
despite the best intentions of your party.
