[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] I saw this guy interviewed on TV last night. If this guy were vodka, he'd be Absolut Idiot. Basically, he's against the war and he'll do or say anything to push his agenda. He was actually saying that we needed to give the underpriveleged a chance to fight and die with the volunteers. He also implied that somehow, the volunteers were too stupid to understand that they signed on for the possibility of warfare when they volunteered (An astoundingly insulting position for an elected official to take). Or at least, that was what he was saying about half of the time. The other half he was babbling about "shared risk," as though he thought that the draft would put the kids of congressmen in danger (Like it did in Vietnam?) and make them re-think their position. The whole thing seemed to me to be some bizarre attempted vote extortion. If THIS is what the Democrats are fielding as leadership, they're in even worse shape than I thought they were. [/QB][/QUOTE]
