Yes, it does scare me, that old classmates may go (many have already willingly been sent), family members may be drafted, and I may even lose my soul mate. But its a beautiful country, and I would be happy to do everything possible to stand by her.

I did not mean to say that I do not love this country. I mean more to say, that I among many people that I know do not support the action taking place in Iraq. I admire your pride in the country, though I must say I believe that a draft isn't an appropriate action at this time in our country's history. If I were drafted I would refuse to fight, for religious moral and personal reasons.
