This pisses me off. I know it would probably be 3 years before they could draft me, but still, right now I would rather be physically fighting D.C. than fighting for it.

This damn senator said: "Why shouldn't we ask all of our citizens to bear some responsibility and pay some price?"

Hmm, maybe because our citizens didn't support the goddamn war. I'd like to see you paying some price, you rich white airhead.

Hopefully this isn't being taken seriously and it's just this idiot shooting his mouth off.

"Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what you think it is you want to hear."

He's an idiot. Iraq is gone man. The Republican dream is over.

Bush has turned over some of the control to the UN and apparently the US's biggest ally (the king of Jordan? Some middle eastern country) is showing signs of lack of support.

A draft is completely hogwash. It would never happen. If anything they are now going to bring US troops back home.

"Hating everyone protects me from elitism."

why would we even need a draft? we have plenty of soldiers here that we could send over. its not like were short on troops or anything.

"You are reading this."

I don't know. This is according to this "Senator Chuck Hagel".
