1. I'm personally opposed to drafting people, so I don't think it's funny.

3. I think that would be wrong, too.
The political pendulum swings back and forth in this country and the other side would want to target hippies or high school dropouts or some group like that. A targeted draft is un-American.

7. It is a joke.
It is making fun of people who say the support the military, yet will not actually act on these words. It is a joke. Irony and all that.

5. The republicans..especially
the Young republicans..like this war so much they should put their ass where their mouth is and sign up at the nearest recruiting station.

"Draft republicans" is another way of saying..Sign up or STFU!

19. It's not looking to draft people at random, it's about drafting the filth
who parade around about how much they love America and think that this war is the greatest thing since blow jobs and Jesus Christ himself, and how they support the troops and America and the war and everyfuckingelserepublican, but who don't serve.

Fuck it - I don't care if you are offended by it.

I'm more offended by the young, perfectly able asshole fucks who give a lot of lip service to the military (and, I'm sure, to their evangelical and pentecostal pastors), but who ain't in it, and say instead, "Let the poor minority fucks go serve in this war and die, I ain't gonna".

Fuck them.

Fuck them royally to hell and back.

They SHOULD be drafted. And at the end of the war, they should be sumarily executed for treason and war crimes.

14. That is hysterical! I want that slogan on my car
They are hypocrites who praise the war and support the war mongers as long as other people risk their lives.

26. I think that's great.
Even if that person doesn't sign on you did the right thing. You made someone think. And out of that one who made a comment you can bet that ten were thinking about your cap.

Good for you!
