Will armchair war cheerleaders keep cheering for war once they reinstate the draft?

I always think people who love slapping a "support the troops" sticker on their car and calling people "defeatacrats" after listening to Michael Savage will be the first ones trying to figure out how to escape to Canada or beat the draft when their card is pulled.





Just like Bush, Clinton, Limbaugh and all these NeoCons pushing WWIII, there will be a new generation of draft dodgers and I think a lot of war cheerleaders are going to be eating a nice steaming plate of crow in the end.





What do you think?

I think you do not have a clue! the reason you can spout your sh*it is because somebody paid for your time with BLOOD in a past war.that is how freedom works.you get to enjoy the benefits by being stupid and reaping the benefits of a past generation.I think/ hope very soon that the dems pass a draft and you have the privilege/ opportunity to have your sorry a*ss in combat.
Reply:I believe Canada will become a big vacation venue for them; for as long as the draft lasts.
Reply:Believe what you want. But you're wrong. Some people actually love this country.





And umm, neither Bush nor Limbaugh dodged the draft.
Reply:I'm for pulling the troops home. Our soldiers fighting the War on Terror are the only thing keeping big city liberals safe at night. And no liberal's life is worth that of our brave soldiers.





Pull the troops home, let the Leftists get hit again.
Reply:I think you need to spend 4 yrs of your life in the Armed Services, contributing to the USA and its welfare, rather than sitting here pretending you know anything about the military.





I spent 5 yrs in the service, why dont you and your pot smoking buddies kick the habit and help make the US a better place by spending 2-4 yrs in the Armed Services, a CC camp, or the Peace Corp, rather than donating to the downfall of the US with your childish rhetoric?
Reply:Only a matter of time before the draft is reinstated , anyway if you wish to read how I believe the draft will come about , click the link - http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-lc2Cu843e...
Reply:They will head for Canada
Reply:They will retreat quitely to their basements and cower like the chickenhawks they are!!
Reply:i support the draft- thought it should of happened long ago.





i'd go. my son would go, when he reaches age.( 7 more years)





as far as running, i think the liberal panty wastes would have all the interstates clogged up like in the movie "the day after" heading for canada.





WHY DON'T YOU MAN UP FOR THE FREEDOM YOU ENJOY TO BELITTLE OUR TROOPS?
Reply:Please DO dodge the draft, It really sucked for getting qualified and willing applicants. Rich folks and colledge nerds always avoid service anyway Even back to the civil war they paid someone to take their place. The Military recognise we did alot better with the voluntary system anyway. Your just not that friggen important.
Reply:Hhhmmmm - the draft --- yes, this will definately come about if Ron Paul does NOT win the election so we should all be prepared for that.





Escaping to canada - that is always a possibility - but I seriously doubt people will try to escape just to get out of the draft - I believe that if the war is just people will be more then willing to be drafted or volunteer - its the UNJUST wars that people will be running from





war cheerleaders will never eat crow - they dont care - if they are willing to pre-emptively strike a foreign nation what makes you think they are going to care if people run from the draft - they will just decrease the draft age and keep on drafting - thats what makes them cheerleaders to begin with - if they werent that way we wouldnt be answering this question right now.
Reply:I served in the military (Air Force) during the first gulf war. I am far too old now to be drafted (they won't even take me for enlistment anymore).





I am for any war that kills our enemies. I however think we need to leave Iraq and move on to where our enemies actually are (Iran, Afghanistan, and assist Pakistan). Staying in Iraq is not benefiting America, is not the most effective way of killing our enemies, and is costing to much (our children will have to pay for all we are spending to benefit Iraqis). I am also no fan of neo-cons.





I do listen to Savage (who by the way is no neo-con), and agree with him on much.





I won't be running to Canada, and I won't avoid serving if they should call me up.





I do not think most conservatives will run. Many of them serve already (or have in the past). I do think many people will run, but I do not believe these people will be conservatives or neo-cons.
Reply:Being drafted is not an automatic death sentence and being anti war with no experience of war is the same as saying "there are no bad guys out there that want to hurt me". If you want peace, be prepared for war and that means you need veterans to train the next generation. Even ants have dedicated soldiers.
Reply:YOU MUST UNDERSTAND, NO ONE LIKES WAR. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE PEOPLE DIE, ESPECIALLY ALL GOD'S CHILDREN. THIS WILL BE HARD TO EXPLAIN TO THE NON-BELIEVER, THE IRAQ WAR WILL BE THE LAST WAR FOUGHT. NO MAN WILL STOP THIS WAR, NO MAN AT ALL. THE IRAQ WAR OF 2003: WHERE DOES IT FIT INTO BIBLE PROPHECY? DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THIS WAR HAS TO DO WITH OIL? IT DOESN'T FRIEND. THE LAST WAR WILL BE FOUGHT IN THE MIDDLE EAST, ITS GOING TO BE JUST LIKE MOSES ON MOUNT SINAI, PEOPLE WILL FOR GET GOD AND WORSHIP FALSE IDLES. THIS WILL BE LIKE THE COMING OF GOD, YOU WON'T KNOW. IRAQ IS PART OF THE END TIMES. GOD WILL NOT ALLOW ISRAEL TO BE DESTROYED BY ANY DEMONS, RATHER THEIR FROM SAUDI , PAKISTAN OR ANY OTHER. "GOD IS GOING TO DESTROY THE EVIL UPON THE EARTH THAT HAS CAUSED SO MUCH PAIN TO THE INNOCENT. BIN LADEN HIMSELF CALLED THE ATTACKS ON AMERICA AND THE CITIZENS A HOLY WAR, BIN LADEN HAS SAID HE WANTS TO DESTROY AMERICA , AS HE CALLED AMERICA THE UNCLEAN NATION. BIN LADEN THOUGHTS OF BILL CLINTON WAS A WEAK PRESIDENT, AND UNCLEANED. THIS WAR IN IRAQ HAS TO DO WITH FIGHTING THE DEVIL HIMSELF THAT HAS LIVED IN THE MIDDLE EAST SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME.
Reply:Rio - it sounds like you would be leading the parade to Canada. And as for the fear-mongering draft statement, it's not going to happen.
Reply:A draft will change the demographic of people in the military.





Currently, a disproportionate amount of people in the military come from disadvantaged areas of the U.S.. If a draft were reinstated, our government would be less ambitious to go to war, because it would be their kids getting guns pointed at them instead of someone else's kids.





God bless the USA and the ability we are given to agree to disagree in forums such as this.








P.S. -If someone has to say they are "fair and balanced" are they?
Reply:Not only do I agree with you but to take it even further, not just the people that are of the age for the draft but I believe alot of the parents and grandparents of those same people wont like it very much either.
Reply:I hear camel meat and dates taste good together, maybe they can tell us when they spend 2 years over there. The National Guard can be rotated home instead of 3 tours.
Reply:If a draft is necessary then of course Id support it. I have absolutely no problem serving my nation.





Why do you oppose serving your nation?
Reply:As long as there are deferments I see nothing wrong with a draft. I would prefer private pay deferment accounts.
Reply:There are no plans to reinstate a draft. If we do, don't be surprised if your name tops the list.
