The Iraq War - Archer - 20-11-2004
1 nuclear missle will not destroy the whole world so stop exagerating. 1 asteroid could though
. Anyways, Bush is doing a fine just, only thing I don't like is that he could have made a better reason to go to war and go about doing the whole invasion. But, I guess it'll all work out eventually, sooner or later . I jsut hope I am alive to see it all through, which I think should happen long before I perish (of natural causes of course )

No I mean we launch one missle then everyone will start launching missles.

True. And one thing that's scaring me probably the most about all of this is that America may have to start drafting people, and at my age, in a few years I might be drafted, and that would ruin my life, I would hate it so much. I never want to get drafted.

I was thinking exactly that a couple of days ago, I was scared out of my mind because I was watching Black Hawk Down at the same time. :'(

And for me, I just recently saw some war movies such as that, and Enemy at the gates, and for school, I am reading Johnny got his gun, so I am really upset on the matter.

hmmm, I have nothing against drafting people to the armed forces. The problem is that they are often badly trained and ill prepared for battle's many challenges. So, I guess you could say I think its a good idea but its done horribly wrong. If anything, they should just select only the people best fit for it and not just everyone that comes to sight and who pass the physical. A few European countries have manditory military service for a certain amount of years. Switzerland (which is neutral and which I have a citizenship to), Germany, and some others which a forgot

Well I have alot against drafting people to the armed forces. Making someone fight and die in a war against their own will is wrong.
The Iraq War - Serpent7 - 21-11-2004
Yes, I think if it happened there would be a huge outrage.
The Iraq War - Archer - 23-11-2004
they'll probably draft only those willing to really go than those that are totally opposed to the war. I mean, the last thing they need is someone grenading their unit or suiciding because they didn't want to fight in the war.

I don't think I'd do that...
