tvoivozhd---my opinion exactly.   I despise people that run away from 
responsibility, military or social.  However a draft  is unfair unless 
it applies to all combat age people and the military currently has no  
place for several million draftees, not to mention the fact thie Bush is 
the only President in our history to refuse to pay the cost of a war 
with taxes---the irresponsible SOB would load all the costs on the 
shoulders  of our grandkids.
