No way. War benefits government elites and big business while the working class sacrifice their lives. Nationalism and patriotism have failed the American people for far too long.

I am against a US draft. Voluntary enlistment has built in motivation and morale reinforcement, whereas drafting instills resentment and fear.

Not now, not ever.

If you can't get enough people to willingly sign up for a war, then there must not be that many people who think that the war is justified.

(*)(*)(*)(*) f--kin' straight! america is the best country ever. bar none. if you dont like it, LEAVE!!!
Mmmmmm..... everyone has the right to be proud of there country, everyone has the right to defend there country...... so whats wrong with the Iraqies or the Iranians or the Afganies doing the same!

I find myself aslo agreeing with your sentiments...."Leave"

So why are you still in these counties?????
Why are you threatening to invade Iran?

Why are you giving the Zionists arms to kill Palestinians or Lebonese?

Why are the American taxpayers allowing the zionists to give american arms to the Georgians.

Best county in the world???? Mmmmmm.... I suppose it would depend on where you stand and if your nation is being destroyed by Americans or American arms.......

Why have 47 million people in America no medical insurance?

Why are americans forced to vote for extremists be them Democrat or republicans both are the same hue of colour!

Why has there been no independant review of 9/11. If I was America I would demand to ensure that those accused of a crime are those that perpetraited the crime....!

Why were Americans stopped from voting and why was no one prepared to fight for these Americans???

Freedom comes with responsbilities.....
