These same people have never been in the service, have never had anyone close to them killed or wounded, have never had to deal with anything more unpleasant than say a mean gym teacher in their young lives. They really like to throw the word "WE" around... We should do this, we should do that. At the same time, they sit in their little cubicle with the college education that their parents paid for while having no concept that they get paid right out of school about the same amount as the avg Major in the Army or Marines makes with 15 years in service ( who also has a college education)...
As a veteran, I see nothing wrong with the draft. I do have a problem with little arm chair quarterbacks who have big opinions on issues while they have no first hand concept of the conciquences...
Paris Hilton... How would that Ho get out of it ??? Don't go to school, does not have a job ??? Sounds like a perfect candidate to me.

That is true in so many ways.
