But it was Kerry cronies who introduced the draft bills. I'm more inclined to think that Kerry will introduce a draft than Bush. My candidate, Badnarik, is an isolationist.

I'm not debating what the military wants in a perfect world. The fact is, currently there are no plans to add more troops. If another war were to pop up, we would have to institute a draft to cover the troop shortage. Even if in January the new President starting building up troop levels, if we needed to invade Iran or North Korea, we'd need a draft. I don't think you can say we won't have a draft just because the military doesn't want it - the military doesn't control events on the ground and those events determine our troop needs. If you extrapolate Mr. Bush's predilections for war and his lack global support, the probability that Mr. Bush would require a draft is higher than the probability that Mr. Kerry would. Therefore, a college student would be within reason for a single issue vote for Mr. Kerry. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=35 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:132776 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
