The non-deferment draft would be the great equalizer and the old men making the rules would have had to think twice before sending everybody's son and daughter to war. <br /> I totally agree with you and so does my old marine husband. <br />Yes, you've hit the nail on the head calling it the "economic draft". The recruiters are still lying to those kids that doing time in the military will lead them to their fortunes. Snakes that they are.Ramonahttp://ramonasvoices.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-83316888552987050562015-05-25T14:16:00.088-04:002015-05-25T14:16:00.088-04:00As an old military analyst, I KNEW they were lies....As an old military analyst, I KNEW they were lies. Boy, did I get called names for saying so. And as an old veteran of the Viet Nam Era, I got called worse names for saying that if the REAL draft, not the economic one fueling a "volunteer" military had been in place, then the other 99% of Americans (the ones with NO family member in the military) would have been more interested in holding the government accountable for war making.Labrysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-91404127408878548262015-05-23T17:49:55.312-04:002015-05-23T17:49:55.312-04:00It's infuriating to see people like Dick Chene...It's infuriating to see people like Dick Cheney sitting there on TV, that sneering smug bastard, when he should be languishing in a prison somewhere.<br />People need to be reminded that this is the same guy who dodged the draft, then bragged about it, saying he had "other priorities". Tell that to those thousands of men and women who had to die in order for his company, Halliburton, to profit off of the spoils of war. He's a disgusting excuse for a human being.Ramonahttp://ramonasvoices.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-19654014141341971902015-05-23T17:06:07.741-04:002015-05-23T17:06:07.741-04:00What ticks me off is that the same Neocon criminal...What ticks me off is that the same Neocon criminals in GW's administration who led the US into Iraq, after being proven WRONG on everything, are still on the tv as experts on the Middle East.
