I'm not demeaning their sense of duty, but, as I have said before, we are
asking too much of too few. *Five and six combat tours, just ain't a
healthy stress level on our young men and women. *Wars should be a
national endeavor, not left to the few.


The draft should be reinstated, with no exemptions but for the
physically or seriously mentally challenged. That alone would put a
chill on political warmongering, because the parents of the future
draftees would want a tad more proof than the Bush Admin provided before
they sent their kids off to die for the Republican Party.


I noticed you didn't mention "age" as an exemption, Herr Krause. That
means you would be 1-A that is, unless you claimed being "seriously
mentally challenged" in which that would definitely keep you out.
