cousin would never have moved into your Grandma's house, sparing her all that grief....Uncle Sam would have provided your 25 year-old cousin some housing, minimal as it may be....along with all his food...
that story is EXACTLY why many people think the draft will be fine....first, there's absolutely NO SHOW of resistance from today's DRAFT-age people, AND hardly any of them vote (less than 18 % in the last election), thus freeing any Congress Reps from even listening to their draft complaints...and all the suffering Grandma's and Parents of America will be so damn happy to get those 19 year-olds up off their couches and OUT OF THEIR HOUSES....and they will comfort themselves in the delusion that THEIR KID will not be killed or maimed over in Afganistan/Iraq/Iran/Syria...and will come home with a CAREER....
be nice to your Grandma, she sounds like an extremely GENEROUS woman, who would share her home with a 25 year-old relative....I would not be so generous with my home....
