109. A draft would create a massive military,
prepared for deployment almost instantly - the last thing an imperialist power with a profoundly ignorant populace that worships violence needs. The need to build a military force before deploying it overseas, would provide time for cooler heads to prevail.

What the United States really needs to do, is decrease the size of its military, and divert the resources to areas that would improve our society instead of enriching war profiteers.

We'd better get on it. Time's a wastin'.
