Image, I would have had more respect for you if you had just posted this and said, "Wtf!!!" but instead you posted that you wanted people to send an e-mail opposing the bill...
That is an abuse of influence, there are probably 100 children who use this site, who did just that, merely because you said you wanted them to...
As for the draft, War is inevitable, and sometimes a necessity. I am not going to into my thoughts about Iraq, but what is done is done... And although our armies are one of the most technologically advanced, it is not very big... China boasts an army that is quite larger than ours...
Half of these posts are as I said just mindless followers of Image and the EQEmu devs...
Most are one sentence posts, that don't really say or prove anything, they are just there to show that they are kissing ass, as requested...
It irks me that so many people feel comfortable playing "armchair athlete" with today's politics... Unless you have run a country (and I haven't either!), you have no idea what kind of pressure you would be under...

I am, however, against the draft. The sole reason is that women are included. I cannot believe that this nation has fallen so low as to force it's women to go to war. I was never really for woman in combat in the first place, but if a few really wanted to go, so be it.

But, there were a few who did want to fight, and if a Draft was instated and it excluded women, once everything was said and finished, that would just be more fuel to the fire... Whoever was in office at the time, would be attacked for that... I am unsure what has happened in this country, but WE (the global community) have come to a point where if EVERYONE's views aren't being supported then it's WRONG.. And hey, screw morality, who needs morality when we have freedom of speech (which we will abuse and take out of context every day of our lives...)
Well here's an idea, get 15 or 20 friends together and try to decide on ONE place to go eat...
One last thing, and I am throwing civility out the window for this because this just pisses me off...
