might as well toss my opinion in....
I am def. not in favor of a draft and honestly it is b/c im 19 and i have no desire to go fight. I disagree with the war and if i agreed with it I'm sure if have more willingness to go. I must say however...and yes its alot easier said than done...but i would not dodge the draft if i was chosen. This is just me but there would be thousands of others that would go and not want to so waht makes me so special that i get to skip while another kid my age going to college has to go fight to defend me. Its not fair and i couldnt deal with it...maybe some would say the draft isnt fair either but skipping out of the draft for a just or unjust war is just a shit thing to do IMO.
Also someting that hasnt been mentioned...I think the biggest load of crap about this whole thing is that we went in without the help of NATO. Granted we are the most powerful nation in the world but there is no reason for us to flaunt that power, all it does is make people dislike Americans more...and yes i have been overseas numerous times. I personally hate the fact taht the US is somewaht of a world policeman. Maybe i dont know all the details, and yes lots of the problems (specifically ISreal and Palastine) we started ourselves, but and this may be very shallow, but i dont give a shit how many of their own people they slaughter.
