Congratulations! If Bush gets re-elected, there's a good chance you may be drafted within the next year or two. Why? Because he luvs to start wars and send other people's children to fight in them. And you know he's just itching to get at Iran and Syria. And we certainly aren't leaving Iraq any time soon. How will we have enough soldiers to fight Bush's wars? Why, you'll be in uniform, that's how!
Check out Enjoy the Draft (thanks to Pacific Views for the tip) and read up on why you can expect to be headed to exotic locations against your will some time in the next few years.
While I applaud all the brave folks who sign up for military service, I don't think they or you should have to die for a president who makes bad decisions.
