I would have guessed 90 percent not in favor from the views shown here by the Bush loyalists who seem to be in the majority by a large margin. Are you folks being honest? Do you belive Fox and O'Rielly are truly "Fair & Balanced, I must say anyone who watches Fox should laugh at "Fair & Balanced, last I watched, (yesterday) Fox spent a large amount of time bashing the liberal party, O'Rielly as usual spent a large amount of time promoting his books, merchandise and of course himself. Anyone who watches ONLY Fos would doubtless think all is well, everyone is well off and the rest of the world loves us, especially Israel

Oh looky here, no draft was put in place. What I do not think the far left understands is that ALL of the soldiers are over there now are VOLUNTEERS to the service.

And raping, pillaging and torturing? Love the generalizations by some of the posters on here.

A draft is pointless to install.

NO! A draft should only be used in a war that the US had no choice in entering (WWII) and then only in emergency situations, were US security is in danger.

Agreed.

No draft.

If it's a matter of national survival, or the conflict we are in demands that victory is imperative, then yes. Then and only then, not in a war like Iraq.

So we all agree...no draft. well thats boring...

Older thread here...just an addendum.

Defense Department Celebrates 35 Years of All-Volunteer Force
By Army Staff Sgt. Michael J. Carden
American Forces Press Service


WASHINGTON, June 25, 2008 – On July 1, the nation will mark 35 years of an armed military made up soley of volunteers.

Until July 1973, the military operated under an involuntary draft policy to produce manpower to fight the country’s wars. Draftees served during both world wars, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

Opposition to the war in Vietnam brought extreme scrutiny to the draft, and the public’s increasing dissatisfaction took its toll during President Richard Nixon’s administration. Congress eventually approved the institution of the all-volunteer force, and although the framework for selective service remained in place, the armed forces stopped drafting people to serve.

For the past 35 years, volunteers manned 100 percent of the armed forces during the nation’s times of need, including the Cold War as well as conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo. They filled the ranks and fought in the Persian Gulf, Panama and Grenada.

Retention flourishes among the services – in both the active duty and reserve components – as they continue to operate in Iraq and Afghanistan and conduct humanitarian missions at home and throughout the world, a senior Defense Department official said.
