Bring it on, I already served my debt to the nation. Time for you bums to get your turn.

I believe there should be a draft everytime to go into a major conflict. The burden should be shared across America, not just the poor. If the rich have to potentially risk putting their sons in harms way, I doubt the decision of going to war would be as easy.

Then we should get rid of peace time soldier status if we are going to require everyone to share the burden. Make you a basic federal employee with standard federal employee benefits when you aren't serving in a conflict.

Fine. We'll give you Michael Moore and call it even.

Personally I wish we'd send some special ops over there and pop that little gargoyle with a 50cal. I'm sure Iran would take note.

Of course this is Truman's fault...
