Reply #10: People HAD that "direct connection" to foreign policy prior to the

[Warpy]

end of the Vietnam War, something Rangel seems conveniently to have forgotten, and that "direct connection" was worth exactly NOTHING to us in opposition to that stupid and unwinnable war.

If you think people in the heartland are going to be up in arms because Junior gets drafted to fight a war of corporate convenience in some hellhole overseas, you'd better start reading some HISTORY.

There is a reason we fought against the draft. Consider that the all volunteer army is working exactly as it's supposed to: enlistments are down because we have a tinpot dictator who only knows how to get us into more damned wars we have no hope of winning.

The Pentagon has told him NO! on Iran. They know they don't have the manpower.

Do you really want to be fighting 3 corporate wars with unwilling kids put on the front line?
