Oh puke! One of the main reasons I moved from the U.S. to Canada in
1970. I sure wasn't going to raise boys for cannon fodder.

What is interesting is that my husband was explaining to me the
night before last why we won't ever need a draft again. He said
a lot of military people don't want a draft; they can get enough
the way things are now. At the end of his explanation I said that
it sounded like everyone (civilians) were the cannon fodder for
this type of war. He agreed. Of course rationality has nothing
to do with what Congress might pass.

I may be moving to Canada - my little guy isn't going. I am so
thankful that my oldest is 26 so past the age of the draft. My
nephews and countless others aren't though. What insanity!
