Subject: RE: BS: America Send Us Your Sons!
Out of the combined House & Senate only 1 has a son (didn't hear about daughters) serving in the armed forces. Anyone remember the count from Viet Nam (the last time it was used) & if the poor became the grunts? Does war have to be declared in order to reinstute the draft & if it does, what does that mean for the "war on terrorism" & if war is not decleared in the case of Korea & it is against Iraq deos that mean the drafties only get to serve on one front & not 2 & who's going to the one front & who's going to both. I hope this issue backfires & brings more opposition the Bush War Movement. Barry
