Frequent Member Group: Members Posts: 88 Member No.: 2 Joined: 1-September 04	In the past year there's been speculation that the US government may be considering bringing back the draft sometime next year to deal with the wars on Iraq and Al-Qaeda. Reportedly this new draft would apply to both men and women, ages 18-26, regardless of whether or not they either graduated from or are currently in college. Presidential candidate John Kerry has been accusing Bush of secretly supporting an idea of a new draft (despite public denial of this from Bush) and warns the idea could become a reality if Bush remains in office another four years. Personally I'm strongly opposed to the idea of a new draft. It'd just be another freedom taken away from young Americans (they should have the right to choose whether or not they wish to be a soldier, not to be forced into a war against their will), and I'm pretty much unfit (both physically and psychologically) to be in the army anyway. If the government wants to force me into the military, they may as well send a couple soldiers to my door to shoot me dead -- it'll have pretty much the same outcome as if I was to be drafted, but at least that way my death would've been a lot quicker and much less painful... Feel free to discuss and share your own opinions on the topic in this thread. Tim (aka the Slipperman)
