From: "Mark" 

Eh, I disagree. My take on the efforts of the Dems to get a draft
reinstated is fairly dark. I'm quite sure their underlying motives are to
undermine any military action any where at any time by reinvigorating and
motivating those of a sheep-like protester mind-set who don't have any
regard for reality on the ground.

I feel that they, the Dems, don't grasp the severity of the current
conflict(s) and that if they are successful in their efforts to stop us
from taking action as necessary, that those efforts would be extremely
dangerous to the very existence of our nation.
