Well, a true universal draft would put the screws to a military
expansionist like Bush. I'd go a bit beyond you and add draftees if it
were clear a real war was coming soon. I wouldn't want until we were
invaded.

But to invade a country as uninvolved in 9-11 as Iraq was, and on
trumped up reasons? No. If there were a universal draft, the parents
would NOT let someone like Bush send their kids overseas to die.

It seems that once young impressionable people sign on that dotted
line...their lives are worthless. They are just cannon fodder to be used
up & spit out by the establishment.
