Yay! Finally someone I agree with!
I completely oppose the draft. I don't think anyone should be forced to go off to what might be their death. There is no reason to have to force people to fight for a country that they might consider shitty, when there are so many people that are willing to do so.
Also, anyone that is saying that women shouldn't be included in the draft (if it comes to pass) is a sexist. Someone brought up the point of "would you want your sister, or daughter, or girlfriend, or wife going off to war, possibly to die" (paraphrased quote, sorry if it's not quite right). My answer to that: Hell no. But you know what? I also wouldn't want to see my brother, or my dad, or any of my friends go to off to war, possibly to die either. Who decided that it's okay for the country's men to get killed, but if anyone mentions the same thing happening to women they're suddenly shunned. It's rediculous.
One last thing before I go: I can't believe nobody mentioned (at least in the first 2 pages, after that I got bored with people bitching and decided to post my own response) that if the draft passes, even people in school aren't safe. It always used to be that if you were currently enrolled in school, you couldn't be drafted. That's gonna change if this thing passes...
/shrug Just thought I'd throw it out there.
