Message to the children of chickenhawks!


Given the fervor of the current Administration's on the "War on Terror" then the time will come when the US will have to field large military forces in the ME. Technology will not do it. It's going to take boots on the ground. The question is whether the children of Baby Boomers and Generation X'ers will be forced into military service. During Vietnam you had WW2 and Korean War vets telling their children it was time for the next generation to serve the country. Now you have people who never put on a uniform going to tell their children that they must serve to preserve their way of life.

Talk about hypocrisy ..... it's going to be funny!

The draft isn't funny.
In the 60s we were drafted and most went without thinking hard about it. (some notable exceptions were the traitor cassius clay, etc)
But with 45 years of learning behind me, I would advise my grandchildren NOT to go into an unjustified war.
