Aw, more young foolish death. Draft them all! By god I went to Veitnam and I didn't want to. Now its time to do your thing for god, country, the big oil companies, and your car. So off to Iraq with you. At 18 your old enough to show us what your made of.

Farouk I hoped that would not happen, the draft was a mistake in Vietnam all it did was allow for the downfall of our military more protest and lack of support for the war.

I have two kids of my own who would be of age. I am very proud of them for their contributions to their communities. As a Veitnam vet, who was a draftee, I am very proud of my service to my Country, but I would not wish the same for todays youth. I am in support of our troops where ever they may be serving, but I do not see this war in Iraq the same way I see what was begun in Afghanistan. This Iraq campaign is as fowl as anything from Veitnam. Not our troops fault but our leaders fault. Unjust, and ill planned, this is nothing we need to slaughter our youth for.

My oldest son has a wife and child My next son was a marine with the First Marines who invaded the country he is home and out now. He spent 1 year in Saudi, 1 Year in Afganistan, one year at guantomino, and 6 monthes in Kuwait and 6 monthes in Iraq, he was extended for the war and released after six months. My next oldest is married with family, my youngest son Is the age I was when I became aware of what a draft was , My number came up as well. I was as you, proud of what I did, but when I came home I was shamed into re-enlisting.
How the draft works

I am a veteran, I am against the draft. I feel that we should just keep making it an affordable career choice, and treat them like adults when they join at 18. If they can fight for us, let them drink a beer. When the draftees were around, they caused many problems. The all volunteer Army is way better.

If you don't believe ABC maybe you'd believe FOX news instead.

U.S. officials did not identify the dead or the nature of their work because the next of kin had not yet been notified.
However, early evidence indicated they worked for Blackwater Security Consulting, a company based in Moyock, N.C., the company said in a statement. The security firm hires former military members from the United States and other countries to provide security training and guard services. In Iraq, the company was hired by the Pentagon to provide security for convoys that delivered food in the Fallujah area, the company statement said.
The abuse and mutilation of the contractors' corpses was similar to the scene more than a decade ago in Somalia, when a mob dragged corpses of U.S. soldiers through the streets of Mogadishu, eventually leading to the American withdrawal from the African nation.

We must not withdraw here. That was the mistake of mistakes in Somalia. Clinton was a weak stomach, he did not have the strength to fight.
The solution in Iraq is complete victory through all out war. Leave only our allies standing.
Limited action will be the undoing in Iraq.
