Perhaps some other form of National Service would be a better plan? What exactly that would be is the question, but something non-military. Doesn't defeat the problem of a draft, though.Magnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741378159534413277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713621.post-1111730399617964192005-03-24T21:59:00.000-08:002005-03-24T21:59:00.000-08:00Right on.

If we do it <I>just right</I>, our Killing Machine can continue on its murderous rampage for decades on end without feeding on drafted Americans.<BR/><BR/>It's bad enough that many young people often join the military because they have precious few choices when it comes to making a living or getting a decent education. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps instead of designing a yummy diet for The Beast, we should be thinking of new and innovative ways <I>of starving it to death</I>.<BR/><BR/>Which is the long way of saying "Yeah, what Bob said."Arvin Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227311488775593004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713621.post-1111702359469609142005-03-24T14:12:00.000-08:002005-03-24T14:12:00.000-08:00Sorry I was not more clear with my entry.

And I am not an advocate for the abuse of human rights, and I think that ALL people should be treated with dignity and respect.<BR/><BR/>Also, you have a good point about the fact that the military does not care who it turns out, as long as they were trained to kill.<BR/><BR/>I just think that the military should stop looking in the wrong places (34 to 39-year-olds), and maybe make a larger campaign to help naturalize illegal aliens. <BR/><BR/>However, we would not need anymore soldiers or recruitment if we were not “at war” with Iraq. More people would probably join in a peaceful time, and the necessity of manpower would be smaller.<BR/><BR/>Nathan,<BR/>I do not understand anything you said, but thanks for leaving a comment anyway.Eric Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439070182244186150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713621.post-1111687481710680552005-03-24T10:04:00.000-08:002005-03-24T10:04:00.000-08:00I see your point too.

I think the general American and America in general needs more engagement however in their actions around the world, not less. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments on my blog.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051322787433094726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713621.post-1111680435643347722005-03-24T08:07:00.000-08:002005-03-24T08:07:00.000-08:00I see your point, and as I said on my blog, the ar...I see your point, and as I said on my blog, the army does naturalize it's members. The Army, however, would have to make sure that they do not take these immigrants for granted, and that they actually offer them the same opportunities that they offer everyone else. Also it will have to be made sure that these immigrants do not go undocumented as they do for Wal-Mart and other large corporations when they enlist in the military because benefits and other forms of healtchare will be impossible to get. Remember that the Army wants to train people to kill; it matters little to them if afterwards you are a productive member of society.a.dombrowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150650697224508204noreply@blogger.com
