petehoovie, I am in 100% agreement with you on this. when I was young
and stupid, I was against the draft. I will say now however that it is probably the best thing that ever happened to me. when I was drafted I decided I did not want to be in the army, so I joined the Air Force , before I was due to show up at the draft board for induction. made my Dad happy since he was a career Air Force man. the military taught me sel-reliance, humility, respect for others, and how to conduct one's self in general. I think everyone should be required to serve the minimum 2 years of service with a 4 year inactive obligation like all others have done. I also some times think that this should be required before you are able to vote, but that maybe carrying it a bit to far. just my .02. now back to the Fords
