1. He's right.
Andy Rooney said it, too. Whenever the United States goes to war, it should be with a draft.

4. My favorite gentleman Charles Rangel came to that conclusion early on, too.
All I can say is it's the only thing that will get the youngsters up off their asses, away from their xboxes, and into the streets...AND the polls.

They don't vote, they don't protest, they don't engage. And that isn't ALL of them, mind you, but it IS most of them.

The Vietnam generation is getting too damn old to keep this shit up. The youngsters need to step up. If it takes the very real threat of a draft to make them realize life and liberty are precious things, well, let's get that party started.
