what? Helping our allies? What kind of country would we be if we didn't do everything in our power to help our friends?

Its americas duty as the top military power in the world to protect people, even if it means a draft (but a draft would only be in extreme circumstances) plus now like all of our allies owe us one so if ever we are in trouble they will help us, its an investment.

Yeah, but why should I die for another country that I'm not even a citizen of?

You have an easy life compared to other humans, so its your duty and if you dont want to just leave the country (go to canada) and your saying that if america was in a direct threat you wouldnt defend this country? its okay that you dont want to die or kill others, I dont, no one does (unless they are a maniac, or just incredibly ignorant) but you have to think of the greater good and your duty.

Let's make this abundantly clear
I WOULD give my life for a cause I believed in. I WOULDN'T give my life for any of Bush's greed wars. And I most certainly WOULDN'T give my life for some ally country that just so happens to be a major oil supplier. (coughKuwaitcough)

I have to agree with ye, we gotta stop buying oil from other countries, they over charge us so much that we lose billions, bush needs to fund programs looking for an alternate clean fuel sorce.

Yes you cant force someone to put their life on the line or to kill soemone, but desperate times call for desperate measures, if we need one to exist we should have one.

if we need to exist?? what is that supposed to mean? if we exist then we will get into other wars and have more death. we don't need a draft right now, what we're doing is just making sure that their government is settled that's all. yes maybe some people attack us but we're taking care of them (killing them but taking care of them) and yet we are still having more and more people killed every day, why add more to the death toll when we are so close to ending this ?

You're right. Demon is right. Azan is right. A draft is a bad idea. I change my vote. No draft.

Im against a draft for now, im saying if we need to exist as in an army is invading US soil intent on killing everyone, now a draft would be pointless

personally I don't believe that "lobs" has changed his opinion. if you are gonna do that you have to prove it and don't just say cuz everyone else has the same point that you are gonna change it.
azan I get your point if we do have people attacking and there aren't enough soldiers I agree that to save ourselves we should have a draft but I still think that the whole war idea is a bad idea in the first place.
