That is what you are saying about the volunteer military? Most of these kids joined a peacetime military and many joined with the only other option being unemployment. Nobody wants to punish you and your kids. Those of us who can afford to send our kids to school and help them with there future are the same as the wealthy who do not have too see are kids join the military to have a chance at a better life, and yes they knew the risks but the risks were alot less apparent when they signed up. Maybe the threat of a draft with NO deferments might make America wake up and see what is happening. I applaud the Senators that speak out about the draft, not to be mistaken for reinstating the draft, this could be a volatile issue for the administration, they do not want to bring it up, but what is with the selective service board listing "jobs available", it's time to make it as issue.
