there's more to worry about than becoming a casualty.

The new and imporved military under our Dictator-in-Chief requires the troops to be more than just patriotic and willing to die for the freedoms of americans and the american way.

These days, they have to be willing to take orders beyond that of normal duty -- they must be willing to torture, rape and murder innocent people, including children and do it with no questions asked.

Then, when caught, they must be willing to completely take the blame by echoing the one-liner "I was only following orders -- my parents never taught me right from wrong" and of course never mention exactly who gave the orders.

Imagine this -- you're the parent of Ms 'Thumbs-up' Lyndie England and she goes to Iraq for her year of tour. You're proud of her and months later, super excited that she may be home shortly and all in one piece. Thank God.

Then, you find out what she had been up to and watch the military courts drag here through the dirt like a pick-up truck rolling through Jasper and then the hammer comes down with a 15 year sentence ... (which is in her cards at the moment)

You sit and wonder -- It seems like just yesterday my little girl was playing with dolls and now she's going to be spending 15 of her best years behind bars in a federal prison -- ruined for life.

That's what people should be thinking when they hear about the draft. Not only wondering if their kids will come home healthy but how they will be used while over there on duty. There is no indication this administration has changed their ways one iota -- the torture, rape and murder continues and your kid can be part of it.

That's a whole new meaning for "be all you can be"

I wish all parents the best of luck with the upcoming draft -- they will need it.
