Quoting girleegirl: ...I normally stay out of political and religious discussions but this is just too ludicrous for me to not say something! 
Are you seriously suggesting that if we didn't have an all volunteer army the US would not have invaded Iraq because the 'whole population' wouldn't have allowed it? What...would the army stage a coup and overthrow Mr. Bush?
Isn't Bush himself a prime example of how the 'children of some of the people' who vote on wars avoid duty?
He joined the National Guard at a time when President Johnson decided NOT to call up the guard for duty in Vietnam. Miraculously, he beat out over 500 other Guard applicants even though he had minimum testing scores on the pilot's test. Ohhh....I'm sure that had absolutely nothing to do with his father....the Congressman!
People in power find ways to stay out of harms way in times of war. Having required military service does not change that! |
I agree with much of what you say, and respect your opinion, but who voted the deciders in to the position to send and start a war in the first place? Maybe if enough have a real concern about being sent to serve, the outcome would be different.
Again, all those in the military do not serve on the front line. There are many positions to fill that do not involve front line combat. As it is now we have an unprecedented amount of outsourcing to those who profit from war. We have our National Guard, who we need here to help with things like forrest fires, floods, hurricane relief to mention only a few of areas they help with, now in Iraq, instead of at home where they signed up to serve.

shortly, alameda has no her own opinion on army, and speaks rubbish, just because she needs to back up turkish nationalists!
there was no strong point for her opinion, she just went round and round hitting no point.
alameda, why not try the hell of eastern armies, then speak up for compulsory military service?

I said what I had to say....and it was not about Eastern Armies in particular, I spoke about compulsory draft into an army in the abstract.
As to weather my point was strong or not, it certainly was a point of discussion.
As for Turkish Nationalists, I spoke nothing about them at all. I think you are reading words that are not there.

This does not make any sense at all. The people voting for wars are people like Bush I...who helped his own son...the current President of the United States....get out of serving in Veitnam!
People in power use that power to get their own out of harms way.

Do you think the people entering the service get any choice in what they do and where they go? Hell no! At the enlistment office they are told one thing but once those papers are signed it's a whole new ball game.
