BBBBBAAAAAHHHHHH! Every second, we're losing more of our dear freedom....
I don't like that "and for other purposes" pun especially when it's considered treason and a death penalty if you don't follow commands while in service.
This better not pass!

Blame Canada!
Blame Canada!
With all their hockey hubbabaloo
And that ***** Anne Murray too
Blame Canada
Shame on Canada
The **** we must stop
The trash we must smash
Laughter and fun
must all be undone
We must blame them and cause a fuss
Before someone thinks of blaming uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus
I don't know whether to laugh or cry, so I choose laughter.
Edit: What, I can't say ***** -bzzzz- OW!

OK, one reasons it pays to be an old fart. Although, my children will probabaly end up in prison for objecting to such service.

I'm 20. Pretty young and with the whole contraversial Iraq situation and contraversy of what "Homeland Security" and "National Defense" is and what isn't, I'd like to stay away from the military.
All these suicide bombings and terrorism and killing hostages-civilians or military personnel, morale must be low with the American soldiers of today... all I gotta say is stay strong and I'm proud of them.
I still like to stay away from the military though... I think you know why from my previous feelings/statements.

I'm pretty shocked to see such an objection to the draft. I have served and would serve again if called upon. I would be reluctant about my children but would encourage, support and honor thier service if called upon. It is our duty. Dodgers should be ashamed of them selves.

Not always. Our current leadership insists on thrusting us into conflicts we have no business being in. I'm as patriotic as the next guy, but I refuse to serve so that Haliburton can make money.

Halliburton shmaliburton. It would not matter who was in the office and what conflict we are in. there are only a few companies in the world that do this type of defense contracting. Haliburton just so happens to be one of them. The whole M. Moore conspiracy that he created is pretty tough to digest IMO. As with anything there is alwaysw going to be a difference in opinion. It's all about Yin and Yang. There has to be evil for there to be good, hate/love, silence/noise. You can't have one without the other. So is politics. Some peoples toes will be stepped on, some will finally free thier feet from the sand.. IMO as long as the end justifies the mean. It's ok.

Not at all. Haliburtin had been the primary defense contractor for rebuilding and restructuring .Who do you think cleaned up Clintons mess in Kosovo. Let me use this as a example. I needed my windows tinted. There are places all over the place that tint windows. I went with the recommendations of the board and went to go see Vincent @ Omega. Even though I had to fight through traffic and 30 miles. WhY????
