Reply #121: Let's not use the kids as pawns [View All]

Nothing personally against you, but let’s not suggest that loving couples in 2004 should sacrifice having children for 4 years just to boycott an unlikely draft that these little children – age 0 to 3 - will never be involved in. It would be like asking your parents during the war of their day, WW2, or Korea, or VN to not give birth to you for their political purposes.

This started to be a serious rebut, but I realized how unhelpful your request is. If we – all people throughout history, not just America 2004 – had taken your advice and stopped giving birth during war, we’d no longer exist because the enemies of civilization would win.

I hope we can be more positive.
