I say this is the order in which people are to be drafted:
first go the politicians and their families who approve of it.
Next go the citizens who approve of it.

You wouldn't mind someone else fighting for the freedom you enjoy? Well, with this as your criteria then let's start seperating society into those who have sacrificed, those that are willing to sacrifice, and those that have chosen to do nothing. People have already died for the freedom you enjoy now. Surely you aren't so selfish as to deny future generations what you yourself have
It doesn't seem that fair anymore does it?

America isn't fascist. You speak of rhetoric in one sentence, and then use it in the next.

That's exactly what they want. If you want to encourage terrorism everywhere, just appease them with their wishes. It will guarantee further terror.
