the thread about Ranquel seems to get pretty heated, so i thought i'd take the topic in a different direction.
Suppose it was a different country America was trying to 'control' (for lack of a better word). Lets suppose that hitler never gained any political power and there wasnt a WWII. but hitlers grandson is now in control of much of europe and is oppressing, persecuting, torturing and murdering the peoples of his neighboring lands.
i know that many dont like the idea of being 'forced', or 'coerved' or 'mandated' to serve thier country. my point is to determine if this could possibly be due in part because the American way of life is not percieved as being at risk.
so the question is, would you support a draft if America and her people were in greater danger? say from, a nuclear attack?
