Subject: RE: BS: One Thousand Gone
...the Democrats want to fix that LEJ...they want to reinstate the draft with no college deferment, no running off to Canada, so that (get this) the U.S Army will be more equal, class-wise. What a crock. Rich kids fighting for oil right alongside poor kids, who historically have joined up voluntarily in order to take advantage of opportunities (to learn a skill or a trade, or to get money for college).

Whoever gets elected in November, I'm not holding my breath that this war will end anytime soon.
