:shrug: After all, EVERYONE knows that EVERYONE who was ever drafted got "murdered." It's just that you're willing to let others get "murdered" instead. But it's so easy to claim the virtual talisman of "I'm against the war" as some alleged abdication of responsibility There are lots of ways to escape responsibility ... but don't stop paying taxes to support the war or supporting politicians who voted for the IWR because that would be too hard. It's easy to claim that people are 'volunteers' and ignore the stop-loss and the economic coercioon and the falsehoods used for recruiting ... all to let the burdens of our failures as citizens to maintain control over our own governance on those least benefited as citizens.

(sheesh!)

If people think the way to fight privilege and entitlements of the wealthy and powerful is to "try to get a piece of that action" then we're in dire straits indeed.
