>>Well, we do have a VOLUNTEER military. What are you suggesting... bring back the draft?

>I did not just get off the boat. What I am suggesting is that the sons and daughters of politicians go sign up and do his/her bit. I did! Did you? Where did I say, "bring back the draft"?

I didn't just get off a boat either. I don't see where you said or implied that they sign up and do their bit. You just said "They stay at home with their kids and send someone elses kids to do the work!"

And stop being so grumpy.
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.

No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
