I'm a 60 year old disabled woman. I do, however, have a grandson who is going to be 17 in Dec., and a sort of step-grandson (if my daughter ever marries her boyfriend) who is 18. I would do pretty much anything in my power to keep either of them from being drafted and having to serve in one of the chicken-hawk wars. If Bush, Wolfowitz, and the others are so avid for combat, let them arm themselves and go.

They didn't do it when they had a chance, it infuriates me that they are so casual about sending our soldiers to die and be maimed to further their interests now.
