[PAA-Discuss] The Draft

[Ivan Espinosa]

Man, this topic can easily become a knotty one. I really don't see a point in reinstating the draft. It just doesn't seem effective to me. I simply do not think it will help end the war. I think the comments expressed by Kris Graham and Kathleen Kain represent my sentiments. I sure do NOT want to go to war. I would NEVER sign up for the military. I would HATE to be drafted to fight in an illegal war. I do not like the idea of reinstating the draft. I don't think it's an effective idea. It will just make the military larger, thus enabling them to continue occupying Iraq.

I sure don't think a draft will help bring the troops home faster.

Just my 2 cents,
Ivan Espinosa

 The draft will not end the occupation. Draft protests did not end the Vietnam War, they ended the draft.  Feeding more people into the military machine will extend the occupation and encourage more invasions. Refusing to follow illegal orders will end the occupation and stop new invasions.  Simple as that. 
 All these other arguments just sound like some kind of vengeance seeking.
